In mid-2009, one winning entry in particular caught Cuomo's eye: a shot of a dog named Sidney in mid-flight across a living room. Cuomo thought it would make the perfect cover for 'Raditude' because to him it represented the feeling he gets when he performs live. When the band got in touch with the winning photographer, Jason Neely of Middletown, Conn., to seek his permission, not only did he give his blessing, he also revealed something surprising: according to him, "Sidney is a big Weezer fan." | In mid-2009, one winning entry in particular caught Cuomo's eye: a shot of a dog named Sidney in mid-flight across a living room.
