Forget your lust for the rich mans gold All that you need is in your soul, And you can do this if you try. All that I want for you my son, Is to be satisfied. And be a simple kind of man. Be something you love and understand. Be a simple kind of man. Wont you do this for me son, If you can? |

Babies-R-Us
I found Satan's Home today. Babies-R-Us. What a bunch of psychos....and now I am one of them. Everyone is looking for the cutest
and safest things. "Nothing but the best for my baby."
But you know most of these people are going to become the worst parents in the history of the world once their baby starts to lose it's
cuteness and learns to say "Shut up."
Don't get me wrong I think babies are cuter than shit, but it seems like a lot of parents get off the bus early and leave it up to cable T.V.
and bad music to raise them.
I am actually looking forward to when the kid gets a little older so i can listen to some decent music with her. I am terrified that the kid
is going to hear some kind of "Wheels on the bus go round and round" song. They won't hear that crap in this house! I am already
planning a mixed selection of good kid songs until I can show my sweet daughter how badass AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" is. So til
then I am thinking about feeding her old Beatles songs (Love Me Do, Ob La Di - Ob La Da, etc.), The Monkees and The White Stripes.
I will not introduce Slayer or Marilyn Manson to her until she is at least 3 and will be able to understand it on the level that I do.

Twisted Sister had been touring and playing for years and years prior to the mainstream
success of "Stay Hungry". "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock" received massive
airplay on MTV. The videos became so popular that they became synonymous with the band
and their core fan base jumped ship as the masses came on board.
Anyone that can edit out the thoughts of those music videos when they listen to "Stay Hungry"
will find one of the most earnest hard rock / heavy metal albums of the early 1980's. The album
takes off with the title track, which serves as a great introduction for an album centered on
themes of determination and self acceptance.
"We're Not Gonna Take It" comes next and reminds me Dee Snider's testimony in front of the
United States Senate in a hearing on "offensive music". Dee's honest and intelligent testimony
would probably have been a better video to accompany the song. Dee definitely was "not gonna
take it". It was the Reagan era in the United States and he put himself on the front lines on the
worlds biggest stage for his fans and artistic freedom. The fact that "We're Not Gonna Take It"
and "I Wanna Rock" were recorded about a year prior to the testimony makes their sincerity that
much more evident. Twisted Sister truly wrote what they felt.

There is not a weak moment on the entire album. Along with the cathartic anthems are darker themed songs that add a lot of texture
("Burn in Hell" and "Horror-Teria: Captain Howdy/Street Justice"). The guitar solos are succinct and well executed on all the tracks and
Dee's raspy voice is a perfect fit with the music and lyrics.
The inspiring "The Price" is a slower track that could be considered a power ballad, but its sincerity should spare it that label.
The album starts revving up again with the mid-paced "Don't Let Me Down" before the plodding and heavy "The Beast". "S.M.F." closes
the album and is the perfect call to arms that it inspires to be.
Twisted Sister played and wrote for their fans. Dee Snider was asked by a Congressman what the name of his fan club (S.M.F.) was
during his testimony before the United States Senate. Dee will go down in history as being the only human being to ever utter the
words the "Sick Motherf***ing Friends of Twisted Sister" in that hallowed room.
