Rationale for fair use in article Tenacious D

This picture is being used in Wikipedia's article for the rock band "Tenacious D". Although it is subject to copyright, the D editors of Wikipedia, among them myself (Tenacious D Fans) in particular, feel that it is covered by US fair use laws because:

It is a small part of the audio file, with under 30 seconds of it.
It is used here for purely encyclopedic and informational purposes.
It does not harm the copyright owner commercially.

Further, we believe this image is important to the list because:

It contributes significantly to the article by showing one of Tenacious D's most well known tracks, which is being discussed inside the article as well.
