Cover art for Phantom Patriot lyrics by Les Claypool's Fancy Band

i thought the phantom patriot was an ironic refernce to bush. his quest is the iraq war, the bohemians is another name for inter city dwellers (who don't agree with his quest/war), he works alone(no one supports his plan), he's caught (we find out the war/quest is for bad reasons-money/pride/fame/hero complex?). but that's what i think.
