Grammy's For All Of These Grammies, And Grampies, For Recreating Iconic Album Covers

As activities manager at the home, Robert Speker wanted to keep spirits up while visitors and outside entertainment aren't permitted. Thus, a brilliant project was born: re-creating classic album covers with residents cast as the rock stars.

Speker tweeted side-by-side photos of the original covers and the Sydmar Lodge residents' new takes, and the tweets quickly took off.
