This is perhaps the most revealing item about Ray ever posted.  When asked to
describe why punk rock is more decadent than "acid rock", the examples he
gives have nothing to do with punk rock.  Helter Skelter was written by
Paul McCartney, the most saccharine musical sap of the 70s, writer of music
any yuppie "parent" would go gaga over.  What Ray has never bothered to notice
(too busy calling Ozzie Osbourne a punk rocker) is that this so-called punk
rock (none of which he has referred to) was a rebellion AGAINST the saccharine
droll boring music that once was acid rock (e.g., Jefferson Airplane) and is
now commercial schlock (Jefferson Starship).  Some things are worth rebelling
against.  But, tell that to Ray, who thinks preservation of the status quo is
the will of god.

(Sarcasm indicators are often necessary in the most obvious of places for the
most obtuse of people.)  Note that Ray "forgot" to mention the name of the
album he claims to have seen.  Hmmm...
