   Sister’s cover was a loose collage of images that each band member individually chose. In the downtown art world appropriation was commonplace, which is why we felt this was an acceptable approach. By collecting those images, we believed we were creating something new out of them. Among them was a Richard Avedon photo of a prepubescent girl and an image of Disney’s Magic Kingdom. When Avedon threatened to sue us, followed by Disney’s legal department, we responded by subsequently blacking out the offending images, a reminder forever that we'd been censored by people who had more money to spend on lawyers than we did.
