Did they purposely release this album on the 5-year anniversary of JFK?

I guess it's quite common for s/t albums to be referred to by their album art - always knew Pearl Jam as the avocado album https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Jam_(album)

beautiful quote:
McCready said, "That symbolizes just kind of ... Ed's at the end of the process and said, for all I care right now, we've done such a good job on this record, and we're kind of tired from it. Let's throw an avocado on the cover. I think that's what happened, and our art director goes, hey, that's not a bad idea. I think we were watching the Super Bowl, and we had some guacamole or something."

I saw someone call it Andy Warhol recently.

Oh, and in the record shop where I worked in the 90s the database entry had 'Velvet Underground, The' as the artist, and '& Nico' as the title.

was Nico really not in the band at that point?

No, that was Yoko.
