The Analog Cub Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 That wasn't their intent, I think. It was them crossing off 4 lines, or 4 decades of music. But if you want to get symbolic and "aliens", it could mean that they're hinting they aren't done yet and the "5" is a sign that they still have more in the tank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merely Space Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I saw a guy get a tat on his sternum once. He was skin and bones, to boot. That has to have hurt in an unreal way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertrobyn Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I emailed Hugh and asked what it means and here is his answer: Dear Robert, Yeah - that was an amazing 40+ year run! I have (guarded) hopes and some expectation that they will get tired of golf and fishing — and do another studio album somewhere down the road :) The tourbook cover is a play on the marks that inmates scratch on the walls of their cells. It’s a way to mark "time served". Simply that. Cheers,Hugh 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
