“We did the cover shoot out in Los Angeles, and we did a lot of different poses and everything. One of the things we had was this big huge flag, and I thought it just looked powerful - that’s what attracted me to it. I also kind of wanted to tweak the whole Bruce Springsteen ‘Born in the U.S.A.’ thing. Instead of me standing there all tough like Bruce, I’m in my slouchy, twitchy posture, my head down, my hair a mess. We thought it looked cool, but it was also meant to be a bit of a goof.”
