Hidden Findings on Backspacer. <Consolidated>

Dark Star

For those of us who like artwork and the Hidden Findings thread, I've consolidated the findings. Enjoy...

Upper Left
Nothing known precisely yet... The only notable thing is that the adult cartoon drawing of Jeff is wearing the same shirt as the young boy, on both the CD sleeve and the new deep mag. But I thought this photo was damn close!

The girl in the red dress is either her or you, we haven't decided yet.

Tom Tomorrow should make a cartoon combining all the stories.

Thanks for going to the trouble of compiling all of that. Much appreciated! Since the photo reference for the upper-left illustration has yet to be uncovered, I'll copy one of my earlier posts so we have at least some info regarding its content.

"Good find on the initials "M R" written in the stars. Undoubtedly, that refers to Dr. Michael Richter. The scene depicted in the same illustration, however, is based on a recurring dream of Jeff Ament's as a child. In Big Sandy, where he grew up, Jeff was told if he stood too close to the train tracks as a locomotive passed, he would be sucked under them. Like most youngsters, these sort of stories can tend to leave a lasting impression. In Jeff's case, he had nightmares of a train, covered in flames, chasing him relentlessly around town, wherever he went."

No thank you tleatherman, you are the man in the main thread!

About the above, I never read that! That's cool, is that a Tom T. quote or something, about the recurring dream?

In regard to the "red dress," I thought the artwork was depicting the girl Ed is singing about in the song 'Johnny Guitar', not the Star Trek character.

"On the left a girl in red so innocent..."

Yeh, I like your interpretation too. That one is still a mystery between the pj consensus.

I seem to recall there being a black and white picture of the astronaut drummer from an old envelope. Or am I slipping?

It's there, some of the photos were too large and had to be URL'ed.
