The Original Conehead Cowboy

First the Invalid Cowboy and now this. Hell, every single kind of cowboy needs love, alright? Especially Beldar. The first thing I noticed about this cover besides the pointiness of that there hat is how much this young man looks remarkably like Shane West, also known as Dr. Ray Barnett, for those of you who still give a shit about E.R. Well, a really pissed off Shane West, say after he found out that A Walk to Remember was a really, really awful movie, no matter people say to the contrary. I’m serious, have you guys seen that piece of turd? It was based on a crappy Nicholas Sparks novel. Man, I hate that guy. Anyway, it’s about a troublemaker, a “rebel” if you will, who plays a prank on the school nerd that ends up badly resulting in the nerd being paralyzed forevah. The rich kid Shane West gets probation or something (because he’s riiiiiich, beeyatch!) and meets Mandy Moore (who is poooooooor), the religious girl that everyone makes fun of because she makes her own clothes or some shit like that and hangs out with Corkies. They fall in love, Mandy Moore gets cancer, they get married in her preacher father’s church, and then she dies. Oh, and Shane West becomes Dr. Ray Barnett. The end. And the soundtrack is full of awful, schmaltzy Mandy Moore songs. I know this because it was the first CD my baby sister ever owned and used to play that thing over and over and over. I broke it in half one day and stashed it under her mattress. My mom bought her a replacement. Sigh. Nicholas Sparks sucks. Ahem. Back to the cover (do we have to?). It’s too bad, really, because if you cut off the dude’s head, this cover is not bad. Sure, the jeans are badly painted on and the sunset in the background is totally cheesy and cheap, but the bod is actually kind of nice. But damn, kids, I can’t get over how pointy his head is. It’s just… crazy.

You may thank Jenn for this cover.

    OK. The head does not belong to the body.

    It looks like one of those plywood scenic photo-shoot things from Coney Island. “Stick your head through the hole and pretend be a mermaid!”

    Photoshop skills need a bit of a tweak.

    I totally didn’t see the conehead thing originally. With all that neck I kinda thought he was related to ET. Like his mama explored to many crop circle and she made with ET.

    Hense the long extended neck, bit after reading the snark I have to say he really does look like a conehead.

    Is it just me, or does this guy look like Michael Keaton? I pray I go through life without ever having to see Michael Keaton without his shirt on!
