    Is that JFK?… Yeah, I think it is. Prophet??? I thought a prophet is someone that sees into the future. If Kennedy were a prophet he would have known when to duck. It saddens me that Kennedy’s image is used this way. Not because I think it’s disrespectful but because I’d wish it were me with all those babes instead of him. YEAH BABY YEAH!!! 😉

    Got my mojo wrokin’

    I appreciate the artistic effort, I guess. But I love these old covers so much, I almost think it’s like covering a Beatles song – don’t mess with it, it’s perfect the way it is.

    Well, that’s my two cents anyway. BTW great stuff here! I’ve put an LP Cover Lover badge on the retrospace sidebar AND put it on the ol’ blogroll. Glad to be a proud supporter of such retro greatness!
