| Question about original cover design for Amused To Death |
|

| This cover was proposed back when Amused to Death was going to be a sequel to Radio KAOS, when Nick, Dave and Rick (the three in the martini glass) were making millions with the New Pink Floyd and Roger was livid about it. After a few years went by, Roger changed the album's focus, removed most of the material referring to the New Pink Floyd situation, and only kept a few references. The monkey cover, which now had more to do with what the album was now about, was used and the martini cover never saw the light of day. |

| IMO, the line "We drove our racing cars" is a direct slap at Nick, Dave and Steve O'Rourke, who, of course, had taken a pair of C-Jag's to Mexico for the La Carrera Panamericana race. Roger's passive-aggressive tactic of slamming people he doesn't like in his song lyrics is well established. So I don't know how that line could NOT have been about them. |
