The cover seems to say: I've shed my Beatle past. Or, me and my dog were the Beatles. (Or at least Abbey Road?) OR, more pathetically, hey, I've still got it! I'm as relevant today as I was back in 1969 . . . . Oh, and did you see the dog, that means it's only a self-deprecating joke . . . .
Poor Faul--so transparent.
Why didn't he just use the "With the Beatles" cover--with the other guys blacked out and his own current mug in the center?
BTW anyone seen the Residents' parody cover of "With the Beatles"? Tremendous.
