The Goo Goo Dolls defended the album cover banned by Wal-Mart.
Artwork for "A Boy Named Goo" depicts a boy smeared with blackberry juice, which some apparently mistook for blood, suggesting it glorified child abuse, said Ken Phillips, spokesman for Warner Bros. Records in Burbank, Calif."The album cover is as offensive as a bearskin rug photo of a baby. To think that it would promote child abuse is ridiculous," said Johnny Rzeznik, founding member of the rock 'n' roll band, based in Buffalo, N.Y. "Anyone who looks at the picture and sees it as a dirty picture has a problem."
