Bob Segarini Says: The Roxy album was being done while we were on tour. We were in new york when I got a phone call from William Harvey - the art director at Electra. The picture on the back of the Roxy album was the one that we thought was going to be on the cover. So, Bill calls me up and says "Well be shipping the album in a week or so and I just wanted to let you know that we made some changes to the cover. Keeping with the theme of rock and roll circus," and he paused, "we've added this little clown." I say "How little?" and he says "You wont even notice it." Ten days later or so, we get the album and much to our surprise, the clown is the entire cover. So, not only are we on the cover - as tiny as mice - the art director - the guy who instigated this whole thing and John Haeny and Ed Caraeff are all on the cover too. Not the back - the fucking front cover.
Randy Bishop Says: Siddons (our manager) entered and took his chair at the head of the table.
All of us (The Wackers!) immediately and simultaneously launched into a
cacophonous list of grievances. Bill (Siddons) began to get red in the
face and insisted that we take one issue at a time. “Okay,
then,” said Kootch defiantly. “What about clothes? Are we
going to get any money for some cool clothes?” Siddons’
response was simple and to the point. “No,” he replied. We
all erupted in protest. Suddenly a door opened, and our
roadie Steve Wood stuck his head into the room. “Bill,
there’s a phone call for you.” Siddons excused himself. While
he was out of the room, we hatched a plan to emphasize the sad state of our wardrobe. Five minutes later, our manager reentered
the formal conference room directly off the lobby of
this conservative midtown New York City hotel. He walked
myopically to his chair and sat down. He took a deep breath
to prepare himself for an inevitable battle with his
recalcitrant charges. It took him a few moments to absorb the
obvious fact that we were all shirtless, bare chested. Then
Kootch stood up, wearing only a tie around his neck, and
revealed that the lower half of his body was equally as
unclad as the top. His genitals wobbled over the edge of the
conference table. “What about clothes, Siddons? Are we going
to get some money for clothes?” Then we all stood up en masse
to reveal our total nudity. Siddons averted his eyes, stood
up mumbling to himself, and marched out of the conference
room befuddled and embarrassed beyond all tolerance." .......To read more, check out our blog titled "Randy Writes In!"
