Jeg fandt følgende på
www.fnm.com:
47. What is the story behind the artwork for "Album of the Year"?
Bill Gould says:
"Actually the man was an old president of Czechoslovakia who died in the
'30's, but his significance is more symbolic than political. He was a very
aristocratic president at a time when Czechoslovakia was one of the richest
countries in the world. His funeral was HUGE (they are the shots on the
album artwork) and his death took place on the eve of WW2. If there is any
symbolic importance, it is the depiction of the death of a 'golden age.'"
The artwork was also used on FNM Tour T-shirts in Europe. A lot of people
are of the opinion that the man pictured is 'Lenin'. He isn't. Billy had
this to say:
"I realized that his "death mask" face looked alot like Lenin, but not until
after the shirts were printed. We might change it."
The name of the president is Tomas Garrigue Masaryk (1850-1937). He was the
first president of independent Czechoslovakia (1918).
Inside the CD sleeve in the funeral picture, the words "Pravda Vitez" appear
on the coffin. "Pravda Videz" translates to "Knight of truth - Knight if
integrity". It means "Truth will prevail".
