The binoculars are a reference to Dylan's "Visions of Johanna," for one.

I guess I never really paid attention to that picture, I always thought he had cymbals in his hands.

Charlie is not wearing shoes.

I don't know if the mule is or not.

Do mules wear shoes?

To add to what Zack said, its a nod to Dylan's "Visions of Johanna" (although from the definition of this particular copy of the pic, its not that clear what is around the donkey's neck) - the line being "jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule"

The one on the right looks like Taylor's Les Paul and on the left that clear-plastic one that Keith played a bit on the tour (and on the Ed Sullivan show when they mimed HTW).

i always took it to be about touring

The Music (drums and guitars and mick's hat)
The road that goes on forever
The trucks (donkey) hauling the equipment
Groupies (charlie's shirt)
Fans watching (binoculars)
