Eric Emerson (2)

Emerson was an actor and musician. He appeared in Magic Tramps.

His face appeared, upside-down, on the back cover of The Velvet Underground & Nico as part of the light show behind the live band. Emerson threatened to sue and the album was recalled until it could be airbrushed out.

He died in 1975, apparently the victim of a hit-and-run accident.
