Hey, it's Alan, and I just wanted to let you know that you can now listen to the ongoing

history of new music early and ad-free on Amazon music, included with Prime.

Okay, here's a warning right from the outset.

This is going to be a weird program.

The performers in the music we're going to talk about are famous because, well, it's weird,

and the performers are shocking in their behavior. They set out to get our attention, and they did.

Some of us appreciated what they were doing, but the vast majority didn't get them at all. They were branded

as sick, deviant, sociopathic,

psychopathic, and even criminal. Yet all found some measure of fame within certain corners

of the rock universe. Their antics may seem tame now, even quaint in a couple of situations.

But if we put these images and behaviors in the context of the times, it seemed like the

Antichrist musicians were on earth ready to lead the young dancing and singing towards

the apocalypse. So if you're listening to this program, please look around and ask yourself this.

Won't someone please think of the children? Okay, is that good enough?

Was I too much over the top?

I don't want to get any kind of trouble for this.

But I know people are going to freak out.

I know.

I'm just, it's just insurance to cover my ass.

And yours.

Okay?

Okay, we'll pick it up from there.
