Best things about this cover:
  • "Well you ain't no John Tesh, I know that."
  • There are 31 flavors of Disappointment on that woman's face.
  • I like this painting a lot. Perfectly positioned burning cigarette is a nice touch.
  • I love his shirt. I want his shirt. I also want to wear a sleeve garter for no good reason.

Best things about this back cover:
  • Dade Tarrant! LOL, sure, that's a plausible name, why not?
  • I hope his business cards read: "Dade Tarrant / Slum-Bred Pianist"
  • Raffish! Is that like "rakish"? [looks word up...] Hey, look at that: first synonym. So I *kinda* knew what it meant...

"Oh, Jesus lover, let's don't have that routine at this time o' day. I can't take it."

This expresses a sentiment I feel on a regular basis.
