As for the surreal cover, I have never seen that. Perhaps there is some link--especially if Lindsey does show up somewhere on Mick's cd. I could come up with a theory about Lindsey's surrender of his material to FM for SYW being a figurative death of the solo artist and the use of the similar image as a statement to that. My theory would be supported by the fact that "Eat a Peach" was an effort to salvage work the band had done on on a new album prior to the musician's death (his name was Duane Allman, by the way) by recording a bunch of additional stuff, eventually winding up with a double album. But since SYW didn't end up as a double album, my theory would be faulty, wouldn't it....
Christine didnt leave FM, she was a victim of the dreaded avocado and thus is no longer with us...Damn, Then who is that other "Chris" that released the new solo album? Man, talk about a McCartney like replacement
