I think it's just goofball Tusk graphics. Do you have the vinyl album or the songbook? There are some shots of Lindsey & Mick pooping about (Mick's beard is shaven so it's 1978) in front of the Village Recorder, in the parking lot maybe. The outside of the studio seems to have (or have had) some sort of big billboard or something with the picture of the freeway overpass (I-5 & Antelope Valley Fwy) that crumbled in the 1971 Sylmar (San Fernando) earthquake.

Also, John was pretty hep to his Hawaiian shirts in the old days. He wore a Hawaiian shirt at the final concerts on the Tusk tour. You should be able to track down shots of him at those concerts with his pineapples & palm trees on his shirt, cavorting with Stevie & Lindsey, holding his bass, fingering it deftly, up & down, up & down the fret board, pluck pluck pluck, cluck cluck.
