I personaly am not sure, however if you crop out and clean up as best you can the top bit of text using photoshop then save as a .jpg you can then run it through WhatTheFont! « MyFonts it will give you a match or close match but i must stress you need the image to be as isolated as you can make it or else it will pick up random parts as text.
Good luck!

i don't think it's really a font. the top text in particular looks hand drawn.
the bottom text looks similar to a font i've forgotten the name of i've always called "1950's diner"
if you browse a good font site, you should be able to find it as i've seen the one i'm thinking of under at least two different names. the version i used to have was a 3D extruded version.
i was thinking it might be similar to "lobster" in doing some quick research, but it's similar to a different retro font i was thinking of. the one you posted is very similar to the one that used to be used for the logo of a kid's magazine we used to get in school in the seventies.
i'm not finding it using keywords like chrome, retro, 1950s and diner font.
while not what you're looking for, the "font" used for the artwork for american graffiti is what the font i'm thinking of always reminded me of

i decided to give it another try browsing a couple of font sites because it's bugging me that i know i've seen a similar font to the one on the jacket.
i thought for a minute that maybe you were looking for "harlow" after seeing the solid italic version of iton myfontbook, but that's not quite right, but it's a lot closer than lobster.
i'm going to do some more browsing to see if i can find what i know i've seen. i'm terrible with names and numbers
i'm trying to find it using "identifont", but it's not asking the right questions and is concentrating on specific letters instead of letter style eg. "single weight, rounded ends, semi-script", but in looking at the margin's matches, "wedding singer bold" is similar, though not exactly right either
arrrgh! there are just too many fonts out there online now, and most of the ones i've seen are new to me. there's a lot of junk ones online too.
i tried keyword and category searching to find the font i'm thinking of at a bunch of sites:
3D
script
retro
shadow
and just couldn't find it. it might be that it's not online and it came with one or both of the cheap font CDs i bought. onehad 500 fonts and the other 1,001 i think. it's really starting to bother me now because i can picture the font clearly. the version that sticks out in my mind was 3D like an old metal sign.
i remember it because i don't particular like the "semi-cursive" letter shapes or the loops and serifs.
there is a font that looks like the bulldogs lettering though. it's not easy to find online, but the other fonts i've found that are similar might help you find what you're looking for if you find the right website.

You are something else! I love people like you that get consumed with the challenge. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me. I do all custom rhinestone work and I don't have a ton of fonts that are fun for schools.

Where did you get the cheap font CDs? Maybe I need to get those too.

i probably got them at dollar tree, walmart or fred meyers. you really don't need to buy a font CD though. you can get thousands of free fonts at a bunch of websites. many of my favorite fonts were downloads. it's gotten crazy these days... there's so many fonts it's not funny. one site has 8,000 of them!
if you were to take a couple days of tedious browsing at font sites, you could collect a few hundred awesome fonts. i was surprized by just how many of the ones i'd never seen before were ones that i'd want on my computer, once i get another one anyways.
there are a bunch of junk fonts too, but you can view dozens of fonts at a time at many sites and downloading a font only takes a couple seconds. if anything, the process of unzipping them once you've downloaded them is mind numbingly boring, but you can always save everything you've downloaded to a CD or thumb drive and there might be programs that can unzip a bunch of files at a time. i always used 7zip myself.
i didn't remember the name of the font you were looking for sadly, but i did remember the name of the magazine and it didn't use the font i thought it did either, but this is what i was thinking of, "dynamite"
if you take the time to browse free font sites, you should have no problem finding fonts you like and that would translate well to rhinestones. in fact, i know of at least a couple fonts that are supposed to simulate light bulb marquis signs that would easily translate to rhinestones as well as ones that mimic LED and computer displays.
good luck finding a bunch of great fonts. had i known you were looking for great new fonts, i would have shared the names of many of the ones that impressed me trying to find the one i forgot, but if you do the browsing, you know every font will be perfect for you.
as to helping you out, i have a very logical and socially awkward personality type, but enjoy mental challenges and helping people makes me just a little bit less of a robot.
humor is one of my other social skills.
