I was trolling the Woot! boards over coffee this morning. They're having a "change an album cover to amuse us" contest. (http://www.woot.com/Forums/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=2301691)
I always remembered the Pink Floyed Wish You Were Here cover. (No dad, I NEVER EVER played your records but I did look and admire them often.) I always used to think, why is this guy on fire? And who wants to shake hands WITH a guy on fire? So I loved this cover, note the fireman standing off to the side. Cracked me up!

This from the kid who used to think giant outerspace beetles were going to fall out of the sky EVERY SINGLE TIME I heard the song Frankenstein and it came to that break in the song where it goes: WOO woo woo woo woo. Wiki says the noise is a synthesizer. Yeah - a synthesizer full of giant outerspace beetles!
That's 30 some odd years my parents' music has been torturing me! I look to the sky WITHOUT FAIL when that song comes on. Clearly I do enjoy the jam but I'm certainly keeping one eye up there...because you never know! It didn't help that those Winter boys are way creepy looking too.

Tortured by our parent's music. I think I may have you beat in that department. Remember mom and Uncle Darrell took me to see the Doobie Brother's when I was 14. It was really cool . . . . until mom had a couple of beers and they started playing China Grove. She was up in her chair, screaming, dancing, and uncle Darrell had to catch her to keep her from falling. I just can't listen to the Dobbie Brothers with out those images in my head.
