Sonny Boy Williamson (II) stole his name. maybe Elton John considered it a "tribute"?

good idea Franco.
... everything in the article about the test pattern is pretty obvious; and my one question is not addressed.
why an indian head?
why not, say, a peacock; or an enchanted castle; or an overweight, middle-aged man wearing a tutu, colorful tiara made of dalias, an anarchist A painted on his hairy chest; flippers on his feet, and a Groucho Marx glasses & nose?
...or Skip Spence?

Coel,I seem to remember on KTLA channel 5, which was the first TV station out here, they had their own test pattern. They also had the franchise on Popeye. So, Wimpy, Alice the Goon, Bluto or Olive Oyl? Any one of those characters would have been worthy.
