Back in  V 10 #277 (July), druxo!knf@topaz.arpa mentions a song "Children of
the Sun",  which  I  believe  is actually a reference to the song "After the
Gold  Rush", on an album by a group called (I think) Gold Rush. This song is
particularly  memorable  to  me,  is the first cut on the album, and is sung
[excellently] acappella.  It [at least the last part?] goes something like:

I was lying in a burned out basement
with the full moon in my eye.
I was hoping for a replacement,
when the sun burst through the sky.

There was a band playing, in my head,
and I felt like getting high,
thinking about what a friend had said,
I was hoping it was a lie.

"Well, I dreamed I saw the silver spaceship flying,
in the yellow haze of the sun.
There were people crying, and banners flying,
all around the chosen one.

All in a dream, all in a dream,
the loading had begun.
Flying Mother Nature's silver seed
to a new home in the sun.
Flying Mother Nature's silver seed
to a new home in the sun."

The song  is  very  haunting,  both  in  its  content and its execution. The
remainder of the album struck me as being mildly religious....
