This is just my opinion, seeing as how I sat and stared at this poster for hours trying to figure it all out, but here's what I came up with. The lizard in the boot is supposed to be for Jim, in reference to his song "Celebration of the Lizard King" and the nickame Lizard King. The Ball and chain is in reference to Janis Joplin's song with that title. If you notice, on the bar by Jimi, there is a "Heart Shaped Box" (Nirvana reference). Also, if you notice along that river that comes out of the hole in the bar there is a pearl, which I believe to be a reference to Joplin's album "Pearl". The river itself I think is for The Doors as well, because they have a song titled "Yes, the River knows". I couldn't think of anything else, but those hands that are touching over the archway, the rose, the milkshake and the missing piece from the counter must stand for something. Didn't manage to find any symbols for Jimi. But anyway, I love all the Forever 27 paintings. I love this painting especially because it seems to have a Salvador Dali feel to it, especially the clock; it looks like the clocks from "Persistence of Time and Memory".
