Of course cover art is just a contingent aspect of music, but it's beloved.
It has been a source of richness. Is it necessary? Of course not. Does its
belovedness matter? It ought to--

And virtual imagery doesn't show the marks of time. Nothing like cardboard
scuffed around the edges and unevenly faded for beauty--

Mortality is for me a key component of the beautiful.
