Am I a Rock and Roll Zombie?

I got a sweet USB cassette deck over the holidays and have been dumping down some priceless dead media from the collection. Among the old demos, musical sketches, and freakish monologues are a few mix tapes that defined my adolescent years in such an encapsulated form that I feel they are worth sharing.

This is one of my faves.

I ran my all-in-one CD/Record Player/Cassette deck through a stereo effects processor I had been using on my guitar for years. The goal was to use it to make transitions and effect the different songs in a way that they would all flow together, the reality is that it get's a bit wild at times. Side A kicks off with a lost sample from a Flash Gordon story album which bridges it's re-introduction at the start of Side B.

I'm beginning to think that we're dealing with some kind of sub-conscious hypnotic suggestion.

If that's the case, we'll have to find the thread that links all the victims together, something the all have in common.

Wait a minute, I think I've got it
Something they all have in common
Repetitive, thought controlling message
It's a wild chance, but it's possible

What is it Flash, tell us?!

It's the music, it's the rock and roll music they're listening to!

I used to be a normal kid just like you
I used to do the things that normal kids do
I used to have a girlfriend
I used to ride a bike
I used to like the things that normal kids like

Lately I been hurtin I been feelin' low
Body is pressed against the radio
Turnin' it up, just a little louder
Turnin' it up, just a little louder

Oh no, it is so
Tell me doc I gotta know
Oh oh, is it so
Tell me doc I gotta know

Am I a rock and roll zombie?
