wtf are you talking about. "double wide" what the fuck those that even mean. Also, you called me a redneck with no information about who I am. Lastly, when trying to insult someone about education I would suggest using proper grammar, "lack there of" haha.
@aceofspades477 Stop reading your own comments. It's because of that he corrected you. So far by use of bad grammar isn't helping your case, try making intelligent sentences. You've been trolled. Don't get butt hurt Earl, i was teasing you. if you're above this sort of thing, then i am surprised you even went to this much trouble to respond to something so absurd ha ha ha ho ho ho he he he FYI apathy is no substitute for presumed intelligence.
I love all BOC stuff but this album seems to me to be the most consistent. Consistency being something the band has struggled with throughout their careers.
@cell9song I think that it was the turn of a new decade going into 1980 where many bands were taking on some brand new approach to their song writing , like a compitition of radio play,I have all boc , and the band Rush besides, their 1980 album permanent waves did the same thing , a whole new ambition from the 70s rock n roll sound, to transcend into the inevitable 80s electro...............
Richard Meltzer said this song is about a lust for Catholic women. Being jewish he found Catholic women enticing because they'd say things like 'Mary mother of god!' during sex and such.
is this the album where there's the sound of the cultosaurus erectus???at the end of one the songs??i was 6 yrs old when he showed me the sound of the creature lol at the end of one the song i can't remember??? can someone tell me if this the album??? or you have it???
My girlfriend and I saw BOC in denver 7/09 at the grizzly rose, and they did this rare b-side ditty , I thought it sounded straight from the cd, it was so cool and catchy.
Incredible song written by David Roter (the writer who wrote the incredible lyrics to Joan Crawford!!!) This style of music is what BOC at one time had !!!
Haha...my wife always used to freak out when this song came on because of some of the lyrics. "Cut the razor into her palm" "Breasts so small, hard, and young"
Some of my favorite lyrics in any song ever right here. I love having that moment where you double take and say "did he just say her breasts were hard and young?" I was always bummed though that there was no guitar solo in this one.
I think t hey didnt get in trouble for these lyrics because most of society is too dumb to understand Blue oyster cult.They're "Intellectual music" if you get what I mean
I remember Eric Bloom once saying that he's happy for people to burn their albums "....as long as they pay for them first. Our back catalogue could do with a boost!!!"
The symbology of B.O.C. is inspired by Sandy Pearlman. He calls it the cross of questioning. Most of the early B.O.C. somgs are based on a poem of his; "The soft doctrine of Imaginos." Which is about a man named Desdenova which is manipulated by an extraterrestial intellingence to subvert history and cause WW1 ( and or WW2). The timelines are a bit confusing, I admit...but that is the "official" answer.
Just bought the album, and let me tell you that it most certainly is. Love this album so much. Not a single song on the album that isn't good, and more than its share of awesome great songs. Love the Cult so much...
Ok, well, I fail to see how BÖC are the messengers of some secret organized religion because their logo is inspired by the astronomical symbol for Saturn.
There was no light shinin' through the window as Margret lie in her bed She was wearing her cotton pajamas the crucific above her head She awoke from a dream Her eyes were open - her lips were movin' in the dark............ Speak to me in many voices Make them all sound like one Let me see your sacred mysteries Reveal to me the unknown tougne Sorry - had to post them - I'm old and decrepit and that's the way it is
If the Roman Catholic Church & Assorted Embryonic Evangelical Group Forerunners to the Militant Christian Right of today were "Outraged" in the 70's by Suicide discussion in BOC's "Don't Fear the Reaper"; they positively had their collective rosaries/panties in a Gordion Knot over this trk. on this Masterpiece "Cultosaurus Erectus" LP a few yrs. later. Lyrics that conjured up images of Masturbation, Self-Mutilation & Youth who questioned the Foundational Tenements of Organized Religion!!!
It would also be good to point out that the symbol of BOC, the hooked cross, is the occult symbol for Saturn/Kronos. The communist/soviet hammer and sickle is also the symbol for Saturn/Kronos. One must then ask: are the symbols that BOC adopted also representative of some "organized religion"?
e.e Dude. I know Eric Bloom, frontman for Blue Öyster Cult. He's not a communist, or a member of the occult. He likes Star Trek, and horror movies. You're a moron.
No one is saying that Eric Bloom is a communist or a member of the occult. What I pointed out is the symbol of Kronus/Saturn that appears on their albums. I too am a fan of Star Trek and horror films but that still does not explain their symbols that is veiled in the occult mostly found in secret societies like the Freemasons. I fail to see the connection between liking Star Trek and horror films and not being a member of the occult or a communist. Are the two groups mutually exclusive?
the Cross is an ancient religious symbol that goes back farther than christianity. Looking at native american tribes who viewed the Cross as holy doesn't mean they were christian, does it ?
the cross represents "opposites crossed" a moment in time in which two lines intersect and then part ways, never to cross again. That point is intersection is a powerful thing.
Just because the symbols are the same, their meanings are vastly different.
Well I am totally with MiddletownDreamz on his theory and I to have to pick on this after studying the occult & magick for several decades as well as the arts, physics, psychology, philosophy, cybernetics, & symbolism. It could be a coincidence (synchronicity), but it is not meaningless, in fact this means the collective is trying to get your attention.
@Neopersonageguy Yes, I am very aware of Don Roeser's well documented explanations as to the origins of the classic he penned. In the comment I wrote, I was referring to religious groups' ( especially the Roman Catholic Church ) knee-jerk,self serving,single minded "Suicide" interpretation. I can clearly remember their well orchestrated & instantaneous public relations assault of mock outrage & Chicken Little logic. Their ignorance indicated they had never bothered to listen to the entire song.
@SPAZZOBOXER WoW. That's nothing. last autumn i was at a professor's dissertation on the perils of inundated zealots portraying their desires for self deprecation. He then thus concluded some subservient priest who masturbated incessantly to protagonist songs related to unknown tongues. Needless to say i was elated.
Dhamra said "I felt that I had just achieved some kind of resonance with the psychology of people when I came up with that, I was actually kind of appalled when I first realized that some people were seeing it as an advertisement for suicide or something that was not my intention at all. It is, like, not to be afraid of it (as opposed to actively bring it about). It's basically a love song where the love transcends the actual physical existence of the partners"
B.O.C. kicks ass and takes names when it comes to true rock and roll. All of their albums sound
fantastic and the lyrics are not like any other bands. Very original and fresh material for each
album. This music is timeless! Now if I could just find a time machine I'd climb in and set the dial
to 78 or 79 and be transported back to my old car with my bell bottom jeans and a big fat doobie
and drive off into the sunset listening to B.O.C. I'd be smilin' my ass off. Hell I am now! Peace!
