Dead_kennedys.jpg (256 × 271 pixels, file size: 24 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)
Picture of the Dead Kennedys, taken wrrg.org, cropped due to an ugly white line in paint, converted to jpg. I believe this is fair use because the same picture is on the Dead Kennedys website.

If this is not the case for this image, a rationale should be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Dead Kennedys
This photo depicts the original lineup, including Jello Biafra, who is no longer in the band and has an acrimonious relationship with them. As such, the original lineup can be considered to be defunct, the equivalent of an individual being deceased. As no free replacement could be created that would convey the same information, this image can't be replaced, except with another fair-use image.
