I can see the discussion now:
“Guys, we have to appeal to the youth market with this cover. Give them something… relatable.”
“Fuck, can’t we just run another Jonas Brothers cover instead? That one guy’s getting married… that could be some Smoking Section.”
“No, we have to save that. Never know when music might take another nosedive and we might get desperate.”
“Lambert?”
“November.”
“We could put him on the cover from now until then, you know.”
“You’re talking to someone who had a dream about Taibbi writing a piece on how he’d single-handedly save the consumer economy with a fashion line. But it won’t work.”
“Shit.”
“…”
“Well, what do the kids like these days? Aside from floppy black hair?”
“Dunno.”
“Shit.”
And so it goes, until someone gets the bright idea to dust off the old Lisa Frank-designed solar-system backdrop that Motley Crue balked at 22 years ago.

You know how the portrait studio let you do a “crazy one”? Yeah.
This is one of the most embarrassing pictures ever
Outside of the goofy cover art, this is also the second cover RS has done for U2 during the promotional cycle of a clearly failing album
At first, I really thought you meant “senior” in the sense of “elderly.” I’m still not so sure you didn’t.
@2ironic4u: Two collapsing relics deserve each other.
Are they trapped in that magic mirror from Superman II? And is Live trapped in there with them? Sweet!
Well, the previous cover was Megan Fox, and RS has to throw some fogies back on the front to tamp down on the flood of hate mail. “I’ve been getting your magazine for years, and the new issue had a person in their 20’s that my children recognize. How dare you?”
@BeRightBack: Totally read it that way as well.
