What is that delight he is consuming? Not so much a 99, more a 69? Designed & sold for two happy fatty lovers to enjoy together, but M. takes it all alone..? Or is Gelato just out of frame there...
Here's a teeny one that is a tiny variant, scrubbed clean of graffiti {a tour R0TT poster that í think í found the other day, in the FA} ~

Enjoy, whatever flavour takes your fancy. But not too much...

That variant was also utilised on tour shirts, with added "yummy!" scrawl, which had been used in a similar way on shirts in 2002.
Cute. Seems like he has a real sweet tooth - you are what you eat?
Graffiti features quite prominently in many of those Lovino Ringleader promo shots, as it is an integral part of Rome's streetscape. The Modern Life Is War one reminds of these Cummins promo photos of Blur (yeah, again. Sorry).
And then there are these photos of Patti Smith by Lynn Goldsmith, fittingly created around Patti's Easter period. Pasolini et vie - sound familiar?

Is it too far-fetched to suggest a possible connection between the lyric, the image and the medal she's wearing?
I've always been slightly perplexed about the medals in the Ringleader booklet.
I'm not sure if or where these photos were used at the time though, as they've only recently (2019) been published collectively in the mighty Before Easter After collection.
