Although it is not established which came first, the "Blue Oyster Cult"
lyrics or "subhuman".. after all they couldn've been shunk in the 70's so
Eric could remember them all or somethin' :)

Has S. Pearlman ever stated in any interview whatsoever what lyrics in
BOC's catalog he's written were ever part of his _Soft Doctrines of Imaginos_?
Or does he do the shifty producer/Prisoner's no.2 and reply "That would be
telling," and proceed to give an evil smile while clutching a red phone?

I'd hope so. its like a declarative "see Spot run" sentence (but on jazz).

I remember waaaaaaaaaaaaay back when I first joined this ragtag group of
rebels (wait, wrong mailing list :)) that I postulated profusely in one
emial about how I thought it could be seen as such, regarding all these hep
characters as Putonia and Desdinova an' such. Don't see why it's
impossible. after all, the packaging for this'un was the slickest yet with
"aggression unchecked is agression unleashed" promo photo slogans, the
technicolor overhead pic of the ME262 and dead dogs and the first
appearance of the band on the (front) cover w/ this. And without a lyric
sheet but including ramapnt imagination, the lyrics could be thought to
have a conceptalbum bent. yay.

Well, there is the story of that fan who came to a gig in a Nazi uniform.

"everything's connectected, man." just read Douglas Adams.

Could you imagine HOW HARXD this would be to do? god, the muscle spasm

Tupperware salesman from Dimension X.  Tupperware unleashes evil on the
land, with vacuum sealed freshness. The freshness always gets those secret
treatis signed. If only peopel knew what we know now.

OR at least an Imaginos support group: ("Hi, My name is Imaginos, and I
have a problem" -- "Hi Imaginos" they reply -- "Y'see, my problem
is,{choke} i meddle in earth's history" (break down crying and group hug
make him feel better)
 Sandy did name the band all dem wacky names way back when, as members of
los transmanicos MC.

Probably, since I remember 'Taxi' episdoe where Rev. Jim said he saw it
like 42 times in a row.. hehe.
