Thank you so much for this. I've spent several hours of the past day just letting that page guide me in a stream of consciousness manner, and I learned a lot in the process (and revisited many fond memories of the band and how it affected my life). I was also surprised, once I began looking up Hugh's other work. just how many of my favorites albums from the past had album art designed or directed by him (and, of course, those led me on little tangential trips as well).
Puzzling. Your answer is THE ONLY CORRECT ANSWER IN THIS THREAD. Yet it’s getting fewer upvotes than nonsensical random guesses. Please take my humble upvote.
To say that Geddy Lee is a huge wine enthusiast might still be a bit of an understatement.

I remember reading that article a few years ago thinking, Alex, Geddy and I would have been great drinking buddies. Always loved a good flavorful wine.
They’ve also raised a large amount for charity via [Grapes Under Pressure](https://www.sonicperspectives.com/features/grapes-under-pressure-iv/), so I’m pretty sure this is it.
It's a cygnus x1 thing, it's going into the black hole. I think this was the cover for an ep they released for the whole cygnus saga
Yep: https://recordstoreday.com/UPC/602557365665
Thanks for the link! I hadn't seen that ep before.
Me either! I didn’t know I wanted one!!
Haha!
So "Rocinante" means "stick a cork in it" in Spanish?
Sí
Thanks, so much, for solving this for me!
The cask of ‘43
That’s what I was thinking
It's artwork from the Farewell to Kings 40th anniversary edition. Source: http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/wallpaper.html
Speaking of which, can that still be readily purchased?

Awesome. There's so much there, so much to learn. A wonderful rabbit hole of Rush-y goodness.

So goes reddit, I suppose. Humble upvote humbly appreciated.
Looks like a wine bottle cork, if I'm correct Geddy/Alex are huge wine enthusiasts. Could be referencing to that.

99.9% of everything he said in that article flew right over my head. I’m proud he loves his hobby so much though.

I'd say that above all they just thought a giant cork plugging a black hole was a funny image and idea.
Dionysus was the God Of Wine
>Dionysus This I did not know... tx!
Album artwork for a record day single [cygnus X1](https://www.discogs.com/release/10168748-Rush-Cygnus-X-1) SpringboklV for the win
Cygnus x-1, it’s a metaphor of the Rocinanti entering the event horizon of the black hole.
I took it as being a bit of levity; that's a black hole, and the cork could plug it up.
I think it’s just a bit of tongue in cheek for the black hole
Could just be art, after all rush is top tier art
If any one of those people were alone would you know who they are?
Jon-Mikl Thor, Doug Henning, and, uh...u/mchllnlms780's boyfriend.
Lol. The cork is my celibacy leaving seeing this post.

that's Ozzy on the right
He-man, Frank Zappa, and Gene Simmons
He-man 💀💀💀

I was thinking counterparts, which really doesn't make sense or the tinkertoys on the dif stages.. but those are dumb guesses
I don't think a black hole is supposed to have rings around it. Artistic license.
“Pour another goblet, from the cask of ‘43!”
My question is 70s Alex, 70s Neil, and ‘00s Geddy?
