William K. Wolfrum Chronicles

At OctaneCreative.com, they have a page filled with what they consider to be the worst album covers ever. And by all means, they have some bad ones. But there is one, that I must argue with. It ’s but a simple album cover. with a photograph baring a man’s soul.

I refer to “Ken, By Request Only”

First, let’s get something straight - from the Pete Rose haircut to the Ron Jeremy moustache, Ken is hot. Big-time hot.

Plus, Ken is a cultural icon. Numerous Web sites honor his sizzling album cover and bigger than life personality, and he actually has his own MySpace page, where he lists his interest as: Myself, technology, haircuts, hairstyles, leisure suits, masks of any kind, Chevy Nova’s, microwave ovens, wood paneling, making pies, haircutting technology, new guitars, now keytars, leaded gasoline, lead paint, starbright, and glow worms.

Anyone who makes pies and enjoys haircuts is Ok in my book. And that’s really all you need to know about Ken. No one has heard his music, no one knows his last name. But it doesn’t matter. He is Ken, and he will live forever.
