it seems that Brett Livingstone Strong was one day hanging out at Lindsey Buckingham's house on the hill and they were talking about Henri Rousseau's paintings.
What I don't remember is if Lindsey told Livingstone to paint the picture on purpose or he was amazed by the painter's talent and decided to put it as the cover.
I think it really matches the album.
LB studied art in college so he's very fond of it. it is obvious when he talks about music, he's got a very pictorical sense of it, he always makes references to canvas and colours.
by the way, does anybody know why is the TITN album dedicated to Judy Wong? I know she died, but was it at that time so the album is dedicated to her? I think she didn't die until some years later, but maybe I'm wrong.
