This is 1975 - I wonder if they got "Heavy Mental Kids" from the band Heavy Metal Kids, or direct from Burroughs.
Burroughs, a writer I'm glad existed but who I never have any desire to read.
New York Dolls, a band I'm glad existed but I never have any desire to hear.
Except, except, for this
Heavy Metal Kids, a band where the name is much better than the sonic actuality
Maybe possibly from their producer Rundgren's song Heavy Metal Kids, off Todd I think
ReplyDeleteOh, that's very well spotted. That could be it. Although Johansen strikes me as the literate type who might have read Burroughs
