I never saw that cover before and yeah, Layla is cool, as is Cream, but I want to go loving powerwash my eyes and search history. God fuuuuuUUUUUck Eric Clapton.

"Bob Seidemann, who has photographed the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin, is hired to take the cover shot. The band is not yet named and won't be appearing on the cover, so it has to be abstract. This being 1969, Seidemann has lots of inspiration, including the impending moon mission. He decides that the cover photo should represent "human creativity and its expression through technology." The visual he settles on is that of a young girl holding a spaceship. And oh yeah, she should be naked, a symbol of innocence and Eve in the Garden. On the tube in London, he spots a 14-year-old girl who has the look he is going for. She won't do it, but her 11-year-old sister will (with consent of her parents). The girl is Mariora Goschen, who is paid £40 for the session but requests a horse. The album is first released in the United States, but with an alternate cover showing a picture of the band. In the UK, the Seidemann photo is used, covered with a wrapper displaying the name of the band to obscure the nudity. When the wrapper is removed, the raw photo is revealed. Seidemann calls the photo "Blind Faith," and Clapton decides that should be the name of the band. When the record company pushes for a more sensible cover, Clapton pushes back and gets his way."


Edit: The Wikipedia version states instead that the 14yo "proved to be too old for the effect Seidemann wanted". And states the 11yo later recalled that she was coerced into posing for the picture. "My sister said, 'They’ll give you a young horse.'" However no horse was ever given. :(

I mean it's a pretty mild story, as a follow-up to Clapton. The girl on the cover of My Sharona is Sharona herself, she's the singer's girlfriend, you can pretty clearly see her nipples through her shirt, oh and she's 17 and he's 25. Yikes.

when i was in high school my punk friend Suzanne insisted that "Girlfriend in a Coma" was about a girl that Morrissey had dated who was the singer for a metal/punk band

i have never been able to figure out where she got this from but she knew about the Polaroid with Morrissey posing shirtless with Michael Stipe way before the internet existed so i'm tempted to just trust her

If not, All I Want For Christmas Is You, by Mariah Carey. Create a physical manifestation of the concept of that song - not just a recording of it - and burn it. Then pour fuel on the ashes and burn those.

Meat Puppets own. Their cover of What To Do by The Rolling Stones is better than the original because they sound like they really mean it.

I was going to write a convoluted creed as to why PUSA's country peaches should've been forgotten as just another vestigial meme of the 90s never having reached the digital age by having all its cassette tapes shipped off to Iceland, where it apparently peaked at #1, and summarily sunk through the combined post-cold war nuclear arsenal, but my boy here is a case in point as to why all the radio stations that still rotate it need to be defunded.

UNNECESSARY LINE BREAK
Nobody has mentioned (Unless just a link with no text?) my personal most despised song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-QkkHsP9dc

Love Fool.

A dire song about a chick who just can't deal with a guy not being into her and just begs him to be anyhow. Its lyrics are painful cringe to anyone who has ever hit puberty and either been the giver or recipient of this terrible sort of infatuation and then grown to realize what a dumbass moron they were. Also the music itself sucks total rear end and isn't catchy or even coherent.

I hate this goddamn song with every fiber of my being.

And the only correct anthem for pretty much every nation ever:

Death Pod by GWAR. Why pretend anything else is what a country really wants to do?
