Can someone tell me where Buffett saw the picture of Einstein that he references in the beginning of the song? I thought he mentioned it when he did the album preview, or maybe it is in liner notes? Thanks

A book called “If Einstein Had Been a Surfer” was published four years before Songs from St Somewhere was released and I’m willing to bet that provided Jimmy with some inspiration for his song. You can Bing or Google “Einstein on the beach” for many pix.
