Никогда не задумывался, кто изображен на этой известной обложке:


А вот тут целая история:

Вкратце из Википедии:

According to an essay by Devo co-founder and bass guitarist Gerald
Casale <...>
, the cover of their debut album is based on an image of
the famous professional golfer Juan "Chi-Chi" Rodríguez that they had
found on a golf strap. According to Casale, David Burnam, the manager
of business affairs at their recording company Warner Bros., decided
that the image could not be used because "he was a golf fan and felt
we were making fun of Chi Chi." The band offered to contact Rodriguez
personally but had time constraints, due to the forthcoming production
of their album. The manager of the company's art department, Rick
Serini, recommended an artist who could airbrush and alter the face of
the picture, while lead singer Mark Mothersbaugh offered a picture
he'd procured from a local newspaper that morphed the faces of
U.S. presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon and
Gerald Ford. These ideas were later morphed with the original "Chi
Chi" Rodriguez image to create the cover art of the album.

The band did eventually get Rodriguez's permission to use the original
photograph. Since the "morphed" album sleeves were already in
production by that time, Serini claimed it would cost the band $2,500
to halt production and reinstate the image intended originally by the
band, which forced the band to keep the morphed version. According to
Casale, "we were able to come out with something that by the corporate
interference and misunderstanding of the business side of Warner
Bros. Records, actually unwittingly produced something far more Devo
than the original [image]."
