/prog/ - the one part of SICP I never understood

the back cover has a picture of a man captioned "the authors, composite image by nick papadukis"

so, is the picture a computer projection of what an abelson-sussman love child aged 40 years would look like or what? because that seems like a weird thing to put on the back of your book.

A more important question would be: how is the SICP opening theme called?
It's a Bach piece, afaik.
