What the hell is on Joey's head??

"Look at this photograph. Every time I do, it makes me laugh. How did our eyes get so red? And what the hell is on Joey's head?"
Over this past weekend's long drives and drunken evening, we discussed this topic many times. What possibly could Nickelback be alluding to?? I guessed that it was a coonskin cap, Tandy's guess was a frying pan and Traci was convinced it was a lampshade. We even called Scott and asked if he knew, but he had no idea.
So, when I returned to reality yesterday, I decided I would find out just exactly what in the hell is on Joey's head. My investigation of course started at Google, my most favorite website. Sidebar: Google is a wonderful tool...if you want to know about anything, anything in the world, type in www.google.com, enter your topic, click search and you will be given a plethora of websites to research the topic. Ok, back to Joey's head...Google brought me to several Nickelback websites. I did some searching on those websites but never could find anyone that came out and specifically gave the answer to the burning question. There were several people who seemed to have the same inquiry, but no answers. So, I found myself at a Nickelback forum. I decided to post my own question to the millions of Nickelback fans that seemed to just be hanging out waiting for someone to ask them a question so they could show off their knowledge of the band. After I posted the question, I had an answer in about 4 minutes. I was told it is a champagne holder, kind of looks like the Stanley Cup. I was very appreciative of the info, but found myself wanting more. Could it be that there was a picture somewhere that could satisfy my need for knowing about Joey's headpiece?? I wrote back to my new Nickelback friend and asked if he knew if there were any pictures out on the internet that would show this particular picture. He wrote me back, in about 2 minutes, and posted a picture, the one you see above. As you can see, it's not very easy to see what is on Joey's head, but at least the question has been answered.
