The gatefold sleeve artwork for the 'Lizard' album, despite it's
medieval motif, has many modern allusions. In addition, much of the
artwork refers to songs on the album which, in turn, also have modern
references.
For example, the "I" in "Crimson" features a drawing of the
Beatles. The drawing is a direct reference to the song 'Happy Family',
which Peter Sinfield stated was about the breakup of the Beatles. In
the song lyrics, "Judas" is Paul, "Jonah" is John (who drew a wife),
"Rufus" is Ringo, and "Silas" (grew a beard, drew another flask of
weird) is George, a devotee of the Maharishi. [last update:]
Also, in the line "Cheesecake, mousetrap, Grip-Pipe-Thynne cried out
"We're not Rin Tin Tin"", Grip-Pipe-Thynne was a character played by
Peter Sellers from the Beatles favorite radio program, 'The Goon Show'.

^ Wow, nice job. And I DO think it's the Beatles/ Hendrix on the Lizard cover.

apparently the other 2 beatles are in that rolling stones cover but are much more difficult to find.
also that bob dylan one looks like a bunch of hooey, but i can see 2 faces.

hey, Man Overboard, i'm glad i'm not the only one that remembers that story about how the song Happy Family was actually the Beatles breakup. Lets see..."happy family, one hand clap, 4 went by and none came back" yeah kinda makes sense. As an aside, the best info on crimso i ever got was the liner notes from " a Young Persons Guide" - Fripps diary, what a hoot! in the mid 80s, Musician magazine came out with later installments of this diary - great stuff. have no idea how you would get hold of this now tho...

How do you find such good analysis of songs? whenever I do a search I end up with rubbish. What do you type, is there one good site?
