One anecdote worth passing on. Mel Brooks revealed to Clax that the cover photo for Sonny Rollins "Way out West" was the inspiration behind "Blazing Saddles."

If only. Brooks famously stole the story.
The original script had been inspired by H. Rapp Brown.
LOL, I didn't know that. And covers like this are inspiring others as well. This cover reminded me of one of 'The Killers' newer videos, for 'Pretty Vegas'. I can't seem to find any pics that I can load, but it's quite similar.
