A while back, I posted my thoughts on the cover:
Just looking at the front, it could just as easily be Manson & Nixon.
How's that for paranoia?

I don't know if anyone's commented on this before,
or if it's a ludicrous notion...
Son & Xon - on the cover - anticipates the dedication:
*Son* referring to Jackson, obviously, and *Xon* being a
pseudo-phonetic rendition of the second syllable of Jackson -
son's first name and wife's maiden name.
Far-fetched?
(the *AI* on the spine is tempting, as is the MD on the back -
artificial intelligence, mom & dad...?) -
There goes a wild goose, I'm after it.
