What a wonderful set of associations, Joe. (Spiral galaxies - exactly!) And so
in tune with Tom's lyrics and obsessions. I especially like the James Bond
image, given Tom's fondness for spy themes, both musical and lyrical. Assuming
Tom had some role in choosing the image, he may have liked it for all the
reasons, even if unconsciously (to engage in some cheap and unprovable [prove
it!] psychological speculation).
