Who WAS Parson Brown and why did he hang out in the meadow?

[underpants]

in the middle of a snowstorm?

The original Jack the Ripper?

Why was he so worried about people being married?

What is a Parson?

Was this "Winter Wonderland" a figment of a drug induced stupor? Who answers a Parson with "No MAN"?

Anyone?

1. Sung Yung Moon

2. A Parson is a pastor I think ... thus his marriage obsession ...

4. in the middle of the meadow?

10. He was a snowman, he didn't pick the meadow they built him in

[underpants]

5. Hmmm

Is this song about drugs? (Parson Brown/Mr. Brownstone?)
And free love (Are you married? No Man!)

We can 'do the job' when you're in town....

What are they teaching our kids..

Then they go on to CONSPIRE...BY THE FIRE....ARRRGGHHHH

6. Pason Brown did not actually hang out in the meadow.

In fact, he was not there at all, which is why the couple in question had a to build a snowman to represent the good parson.

People only answer parsons with "No, man" if they are trying to get it to rhyme with "snowman."

I don't think Parson Brown was particularly *worried* about people being married, but because it was his job to marry people, it would be a natural question to ask: "Did you build this snowman replica of me because you want to get married or because you're just strange little people?"

I hope that helps.

7. My GOD what did they do to that snowman out there in the meadow

or is that one of those blood oath things that they swore never to tell?

[Left Is Write]

12. Well, I'm not sure...

but at one point they said something about a "circus clown" and "we'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman," indicating a possible sadistic abuse of an innocent snowman.

15. Skull and Bones...shhhh

Maybe John Kerry will tell us some day

8. They built a snowman they pretended was Parson Brown

A Parson is a person that can conduct religious worship
...is allowed to by the church. They can also perform weddings and other such rites. Vicar, etc.

Hence, Parsonage...where said person lives.

Perhaps a town parson would ask a couple frolicking in a meadow if they were married...if he was worried about their souls. lol

Perhaps the songwriters guilt was coming through...

The "No-man" is a play on snowman.

Fuck, I dunno :)

9. The real Parson Brown

was serving 3-5 for embezzlement of church funds and thus, unavailable.

[Solly Mack]

11. LMAO

Probably

16. And for having sex
