I don't mean to in any way diminish the discussion so far, but just for perspective. In 1975 I not only loved, but played in garage bands, the following Blue Oyster Cult song, "Career of Evil":
I plot your rubric scarab, I steal your satellite I want your wife to be my baby tonight baby tonight I choose to steal what you chose to show And you know I will not apologize You're mine for the taking I'm making a career of evil I'm making a career of evil I'm making a career of evil Pay me I'll be your surgeon, I'd like to pick your brains Capture you, Inject you, leave you kneeling in the rain. kneeling in the rain. I choose to steal what you chose to show And you know I will not apologize You're mine for the taking I'm making a career of evil I'm making a career of evil I'm making a career of evil I'd like your blue eyed horseshoe, I'd like your emerald horny toad I'd like to do it to your daughter on a dirt road And then I'd spend your ransom money, but still I'd keep your sheep I'd peel the mask your wearing, and then rob you of your sleep, rob you of your sleep. I choose to steal what you chose to show And you know I will not apologize You're mine for the taking I'm making a career of evil I'm making a career of evil I'm making a career of evil I'm making a career of evil I'm making a career of evil I'm making a career of evil I'm making a career of evil --- Now, forgetting for a moment the strange lyricism and attempts at mid 70's obscure metal meaning, is this really any different than glorifying an AK drive by? Doesn't it all jsut sort of fit with the time? And Fmeh...one word..MONEY.
