In case you haven’t seen it, this will be the official artwork for the physical release of U2’s Songs of Innocence next month. It’s Larry embracing his son, an image that’s meant to evoke memories of the covers of both the Boy and War albums.

This is the kind of image that the Internet loves. The memes have already begun. See?

And so it begins. It’s only going to get weirder, of course. (Larry is watching this situation on our behalf.)
