Is it? In what way?
It's probably some sort of metaphor for genitals, (to put it bluntly!) like the cover of ASH!

an old article from rolling stone feb 2005 quote "Rooster is a dick. I hate him," Caleb says over dinner in early February. "I'll wake up some days and the guys will tell me what Rooster said to them the night before. And I'll be like, 'Oh, my God. That was the meanest, deepest, darkest thing ever.' The other night in L.A., Rooster was at a table at the Rainbow Room with Drea [de Matteo] from The Sopranos and Ron Jeremy. He got so fucked up that he had to be carried out!" Rooster is Caleb's alter ego: the lout who emerges when Caleb has ingested more than his share of substances. A couple of weeks ago, Rooster made an appearance at a downtown bar where Caleb had swallowed a couple of Adderalls, Vicodin and several glasses of wine. But the singer says he's trying to make Rooster less of a recurring presence these days. full article here .... www.rollingstone.com/artists/kingsofleon/articles/story/7047711/kings_of_rock |

Rooster Cogburn was a hard drinking character played by John Wayne in a 1975 movie called "True Grit". I'm pretty sure that's where Caleb's alter-ego name Rooster comes from.

I really don't think 'd have a problem with 'Rooster', I think I'd like every side of Caleb!
How is that relevent to the song?
That's also a really interesting article, much more open than a lot of interviews I've read of their's.

That would also explain the references to "cock fight"s and being "home before the rooster crows" from 4 Kicks/Pistol of Fire.
Rooster was my nickname as a kid btw... but not for the same reasons, I'm sure...

Hair ? I don't really know.  It is a close up of a COCKREL for sure! it could be a painting because the white bits look like brush stroke, though i could be wrong |
