Topic: Different Shades of Blue cover artwork

Don't know if the topic has been broached already, but has Joe provided any insight into what, if any, meaning went into the cover artwork?  Not that I have to, but I can't figure it out, especially in relation to the title.

Joe talked about it in Episode #50  on the Pickup Radio show

he said it harkens back to the Bonneville Salt Flats where guys were drawn out to ride as fast as they could with no helmets or safety gear.

Take a listen to New Release #50 from last week hear him describe it.

That could definitely lead to some Different Shades Of (black and) Blue!!
