Look at the "Burning Train" picture.........at the top of the illustration, just to the right of the top flames......you can clearly see the initials M R written in the stars.

I assume this is a tribute to Dr. Michael Richter.

Question: is the boy in the picture somehow connected to M R?

Does the train possible signify the car that ran over/killed Dr. Richter?

Also:

Is this the only hidden message in the Backspacer artwork?


I hope this opens up some new discoveries.
better loud then too late....

    the superman emblem sticker on ed's travel suit case (on the cover of new spin mag) has the initials "MR" in it as well...
    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...

    I figure maybe the girl in the red dress is from johnny Guitar , but theres got to be more.

    The boy & the train, then theres the childhood photos of the band ?

    who's the character in the hat ?

    coral reefs - brain - wires in brain, Unthought unknown

    the eyes look like the eyes from dream scene in vertigo film.

    the robots looks the one from forbidden planet.

    A little tribute to a couple people is etched onto the dead vinyl......... Richter being one of them, and what I can only guess was Ed's gramma on the other.
