Dissing Heino

The Tribune has been doing a feature about the worst album covers of all-time, but they've gone too far this time.

They dissed Heino. My mother loves the Albino Heino. And this particular album cover is translated: "Dear mother: A bouquet of flowers that never wilts." Just four days before Mother's Day. Shame on you, Tribune.



(I'm not kidding about my mom loving Heino. She actually has this album. Heino, by the way, has a deep baritone voice. I used to play some of his covers of English songs on Ebony & Ivory. Imagine Robert Goulet doing "Spanish Eyes" in German, and that's what Heino sounds like.)
