I have never entertained any idea whatsoever as to what the song is about, let alone who. You have just provided me with another excellent reason to hear it, with my brain this time as well as my senses.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16762495483918721103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701815.post-23979416986372145342010-05-04T07:56:58.095-04:002010-05-04T07:56:58.095-04:00Jonathan Richman is a good source -apart from Pabl...Jonathan Richman is a good source -apart from Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh he also has No one was like Vermeer and Salvador Dali. <br /><br />Sydney band the Clouds did Hieronymous on their Penny Century album about being freaked out by Bosch.
