Gay San Francisco: Eyewitness Drummer 291

Cover. Man2Man Quarterly #6 (Spring 1981). Cover photograph by David Hurles (Old
Reliable). ©David Hurles. Used with permission. Man2Man Quarterly was a “Virtual
Drummer” publishing fiction, articles, photographs, and drawings that had become too
edgy for Drummer beginning in 1980 when publisher John Embry allowed the Mr. Drum-
mer contest to wag the magazine, and new “assignments editor” John Rowberry turned to
corporate video companies for slick photographs to replace the grass-roots photographs of
readers that Drummer had reveled in during the 1970s. David Hurles, the photographer
known as Old Reliable, was first published by Fritscher in Drummer, and moved with
Fritscher to Man2Man. Six Old Reliable photographs, including front and back cover,
appeared in Man2Man Quarterly #6.
