Rolling Stones "Water Sports"
After looking at several of the live images from his 1976 shoot of the Rolling Stones. Frank was amused at a sequence involving Mick Jagger and a bucket of water.
With Mick throwing water on the audience, then pouring water on his head, and finally plunking the bucket over his head, Frank saw this as a humorous verticle triptych.
