That was on the walls of the former Church of John Coltrane that was
on divisadero street in Sanfrancisco for many years till some dot com
company bought the building and evicted them. Not sure what became of
the mural.
As much as i love Trane and his music, and see him as a role model,
that church gave me the creeps. :)
