"Veronica" was in honor of his grandmother, who was slipping away with Alzeimer's, & was co-written with Sir Paul MacCartney...at the time it was out, I was also dealing with the same situation with my father, & reading the lyrics makes the song a little more understandable, & cuts a little deeper...

I checked out the video links, & was disappointed that they didn't have the vid of "Accidents Will Happen"...I saw it once on MTV many years ago (when they still played musc videos :P ), completely animated with diagrams of how various household accidents happen...one of the best vids I ever saw that didn't show the artist's face in any way...

Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, & beat you with experience.
