    What do the symbols mean on Pete Townsends Empty Glass album?

    There are several symbols on the album jacket and the album liner some look like wine glasses, some like fluted glasses. What is that about?

    In Townshend’s own works (taken from the exclusive interview with Murray Lerner off the film ‘The Who: Live at the Isle of Wight Festival’):
    “And when I did my first solo album, I called it ‘Empty Glass’, ’cause of this idea that when you go to the tavern — which is to God, you know — and you ask for His love — He’s the bartender, you know — and He gives you a drink, and what you have to give Him is an empty glass. You know there’s no point giving Him your heart if it’s full already; there’s no point going to God if your heart’s full of Doris.”
