When this album cover came out ... I never thought about anything else but the band.
I glanced at the album front & back thought nothing about it & went on with my life.
So whoever cast this guy as "money-hungry baby" knew that, even then, this baby is a real piece of work who would do anything for a buck and will one day grow up to be a greedy parody of himself?
That is what Alanis Morrissette would call ironic.
