(Song References Continued)

     The song "Lips In The Hills" may refer to an incident in July of
1947 known as "The Roswell Incident".  Supposedly, a UFO crashed in the
hills in or near Roswell, New Mexico, although this was denied/covered-
up by the U.S. Air Force (originally saying it was a weather balloon).
Many people in the area at the time supposedly saw/heard strange things
going on right before the crash.  The USAF recently released a report on
the incident, revealing that the "UFO" was part of a secret government
program, known as Project Mogul, to spy on the Soviet Union's nuclear
weapon development.  High-altitude balloons were equipped with special
sensors and radar reflectors to detect atomic testing, but the project
was canceled, with the balloons being allowed to fall back to earth.  It
is likely that flying saucer enthusiasts will remain skeptical of the
USAF's report.

     The lyrics to the song, "Heavy Metal: The Black And Silver" were
inspired by the 1977 book, *The Iron Sun:  Crossing The Universe Through
Black Holes*, by Adrian Berry.  Several of the lyrics to the first verse
are derived from chapter titles of the book.  The chapters to Part One
(Through the Black Hole) are titled as follows: (1) Where Matter
Vanishes, (2) The Spinning Gateway, (3) Into the Whirlpool, and (4) The
Forbidden Circle.  Part Two (The Iron Sun) begins with (1) The Arm of
Orion.

     The song, "Joan Crawford" refers to the famous actress of the same
name.  The deceased Crawford's daughter, Christina, wrote a book, which
later became a movie, entitled, "Mommie Dearest".  The book/movie paints
a rather unflattering picture of the actress as an abusive mother.  The
song refers to Joan coming back from the grave to haunt Christina.

     The song "Deadline" is rumored to be based on the true story of an
old band member or acquaintance, who was murdered by the Mafia.  The UK
music paper "Sounds" made mention (probably in the late 60s) that the
original singer with BOC was shot in the head in a gambling incident.
While it is not sure who this may refer to, Les Braunstein reports he
doesn't know anything about it.

     The song "Divine Wind" was written by BOC as an "Anti-Iran" song.
During the time the song came out, Iran had been holding U.S. citizens
hostage for many months.  The lyric, "If he really thinks we're the
devil, then let's send him to hell" refers to the Ayatollah Khomeni
calling the U.S. "The Great Satan".  When BOC performed this song in
concert, roadie Joe Lauro, wearing an Ayatollah mask, played guitar on
stage with the band.

     The line "27 faces, with their eyes turned to the sky" from "The
Vigil" may refer to the VLA (Very Large Array), a set of 27 radio
telescopes (there actually is a 28th, but it only gets used as a backup
if one of the 27 fails).  The site, located in New Mexico (near
Socorro), was completed right about the time *Mirrors* was released.

     There are a few books with the words, "Stairway To The Stars" in
the title.  One is a book ("Stairway To The Stars:  The Story of The
World's Largest Observatory") about the Mauna Kea observatory on the Big
Island of Hawaii.  Another ("Stairway to the Stars:  Achievement
Program") was written by the Assembly of God as part of its ministry to
women.  Another ("Stairway to the Stars :  Colorado's Argentine Central
Railway") is about a railway in Colorado.  The song, "Stairway To The
Stars", however, does not appear to have inspired any of these, or have
been inspired by them (especially since they were published after the
song was on a BOC album).

     The song "The Marshall Plan" details the story of a teenager who
loses his girlfriend at a rock concert to the band, and, inspired by the
experience, becomes a rock star himself.  While of the same name, the
song is not otherwise related to the "Marshall Plan", which was a
program of economic aid for the reconstruction of post WWII Europe.

     The song, "Your Loving Heart" on Buck Dharma's 1982 solo album
tells the story of a person who is dying because he needs a new heart,
and a "young woman" who loves him (presumably his wife) gets into a car
accident (presumably suicide) and her heart is used to save him.  Twelve
years later, something strikingly similar happened in real life.  The
Associated Press reported of a real-life occurrence of such a scenario
(August, 1994):

     ROYAL OAK, Mich. (AP) -- A 58 year old man who had been waiting
four years for a heart transplant finally got one -- from his own
daughter, who was killed in a car wreck.
     Chester Szuber received the heart Monday from his 22-year-old
daughter, Patti, officials at William Beaumont Hospital said Thursday.
She was killed in a traffic accident a week ago in Knoxville, Tenn.

Editor's Note:  I am not trying to in any way imply that Patti Szuber's
car accident was a suicide


References To BOC
-----------------

     There exists a science-fiction novel, entitled, *Transmaniacon*
(published 1979 by Kensington Pub. Corp., ISBN: 0890834172), written by
John Shirley (who is writing some lyrics for the band these days).  The
following description was provided by Ken Alexander to BOC-L:

Description:  this is a post-apocalypse science fiction novel,
containing a huge amount of references from early Blue Oyster Cult
albums.  References include the Transmaniacon Motorcycle Club, Dominance
and Submission, the BOC symbol, "not talking about the light up above,
I'm talking about the hellfire down below", the light that never warms,
Lucifer, Career of Evil, and many more.  The story reads like a schlock
SF post-holocaust movie.  You can almost smell the bad special effects,
complete with gratuitous gore.  Our too-powerful (anti?)hero travels
between cities in what is left of the USA, with an eventual goal of
destroying the impenetrable barrier that now surrounds it.  Strange
cults, cities of dolphins, beasts of burden that are giant genetically-
engineered human hands, a 700-year-old Luciferage Rofocale...

Back Cover:

                         Ben Rackey
     Foremost Professional Irritant, remarkable in acting both
     as burglar and inciter in the bizarre and pleasure-seeking
     world of the 22nd century is a fearless, ruthless man of
     ingenuity, completely overwhelmed with his own strength.
     His latest and most dangerous assignment is to steal
                         The Exciter
     A dangerous and fragile device for the augmentation of
     the telepathic transfer of mania.  By seeking out and
     amplifying strong, hostile human emotions, the exciter
     can turn a street brawl into a raging mob and a border
     skirmish into a full-scale war.  As soon as Ben has
     possession of it he will have the power to destroy
                         The Barrier
     Conceived as the perfect defense against nuclear, biological,
     and chemical warfare, it was activated in 1989 -- an
     invisible screen of densely flowing ions entirely enclosing
     the continental zone labeled "The United States."  Once
     the barrier is demolished Ben can escape
                            TRANS
                           MANIACON
     The dangerous, grotesque, amoral world beyond the farthest
     reaches of chaos!


        John Shirley has also written the following:  "A Splendid Chaos",
"Cellars", In Darkness Waiting", "City Come a Walkin'", "Dracula In
Love", "A Song Called Youth" (a trilogy including "Eclipse", "Eclipse
Penumbra", and "Eclipse Corona"), "Wetbones" (most recent novel), "New
Noir", and "Shock Rock" (which contains a short story entitled "Flaming
Telepaths").  Some of these titles are no longer in print.

     A comic book entitled "The Sandman" (written by Neil Gaiman),
contains a character called 'The Corinthian', which may possibly be
based on the song, "Harvester Of Eyes".  He is of medium build (well
built), has white hair, and wears sunglasses to hide the fact that his
eyes are actually small mouths which he uses to eat out people's eyes
with ("right in front to the back of your skull").

     Neil Gaiman has also written a novel, "Good Omens", which contains
a BOC reference.  The plot contains a freeway junction which has,
through careful manipulation by a demon, been developed to act as a huge
unholy rune which does something very bad when empowered.  This seems to
fit with lyrics in the song, "Shadow Of California".

     References to Blue Oyster Cult songs are sprinkled throughout the
"Xenogenesis:  Day of the Demons" storyline in Marvel's "The Defenders"
comic.  The issues are Vol.1, 58-60 dated April, May and June 1978.  The
story is by David Anthony Kraft  and the first comic in the trilogy is
"Dedicated to Eric Bloom and BOC!".  The issues are entitled Agents of
Fortune", "Tyranny and Mutation", and "The Revenge of Vera Gemini!".
In the comics, a former Reaper of Souls, the Defenders (Valkyre,
Nighthawk, Hellcat and the Hulk), and Dr. Strange fight to stop the cult
of the Harvester of Eyes, an Agent of Fortune, and Vera Gemini from
releasing demons upon the Earth.  The Agent of Fortune steals an
"omniscient amulet" called the "Eye of Agamotto" that can be used to
breach the barrier between the "demon dimension" and the Earth.  More
detail would give too much away, but the Cult boys themselves even
appear in a few frames of issue # 60, playing a "game of Dominance and
Submission" with Vera Gemini. (Editor's Note:  Special thanks go out to
Mark Mitchum for researching and providing this reference)

     Speaking of comics, in one of the 1995 issues of "Sports
Illustrated For Kids", the comic "Hedley Case" contains a BOC reference.
One of the characters in the strip is seen playing a guitar.  There are
lyrics floating in the air behind him, blaring from the speakers of a
stereo.  These lyrics, from the song "Before The Kiss, A Redcap" appear:
"Outside on the turnpike they've got this new hit tune..." (and in the
next square) "The thrills become as cheap as gas and gas as cheap as
thrills..."  (Editor's Note:  Special thanks go out to Chuck Rosenberg
for researching and providing this reference)

     In 1995, some folks on BOC-L spotted a BOC reference in a Mercedes-
Benz commercial.  The commercial asked the viewer if they remembered
various dreams they once had (saying, "You were gonna . . ."), implying
that you could achieve your dream of owning a Mercedes.  The last
"dream" mentioned was:  "You were gonna learn bar chords, and jam with
Blue Oyster Cult."  Mercedes-Benz did get permission from the band to
use their name in the ad.  Eric Bloom reports, "What did we get for it?
Well, I can't really say, but if you see a guy with a beard and
sunglasses on the Long Island Expressway driving a new C220 . . ."


Hidden Messages
---------------

     The song, "You're Not The One (I Was Looking For)" (from *Mirrors*)
contains the lyric, "All of the fancy ladies, oh they could talk, and
talk", after which a few seconds of high-pitched "babbling" can be
heard.  The "babbling" is actually some spoken words speeded up -- by
slowing down the section, a portion of the Lord's Prayer ("Our Father,
who art in Heaven"), repeated over and over, can be clearly heard.  Some
anti-rock religious zealots have claimed that the spoken words are
actually, "Furthermore, our father who art in heaven . . . Satan",
however there is a loud thump where the word "Satan" is, and (in the
editor's opinion, who once heard this as presented by some anti-rock
religious zealots) can not be clearly made out.

     On *Cultosaurus Erectus*, at the very end of the song, "Black
Blade", as it is fading out, the "voice of the Black Blade" can be heard
to say, "You poor fucking humans".  This is in the overlap between the
fadeout of the song and the explosions that kick off "Monsters" (the
next track).  It may help to use headphones and turn the volume up as
the song is fading out to hear this, but it's not necessary - once you
know what to listen for, it's not too hard to pick it out.  (WARNING -
If you do use this method to hear this, make sure you turn it back down
before the first notes of the next track, "Monsters" begins!).  This is
not on the version of "Black Blade" on *Extraterrestrial Live* (which
does not fade out).

     On *Flat Out* (Buck Dharma's solo album), there is a "backwards"
recording after one of the songs.  Presumably this was done as a joke as
during the time that the album was released (early 80's), lots of rock
groups were being accused by religious zealots that their lyrics
contains satanic messages recorded backwards.  The actual recording is
of two people playing ping pong, and discussing some things about the
album (nothing satanic).  The Fan Club lyric book titles this song Gnop
Gnip (ping pong spelled backwards) and gives the following.  You have to
read it backwards though:

Black and Blue, and Other Videos
--------------------------------

     In the early 80's ("Cultosaurus Erectus" tour), BOC toured with
Black Sabbath on a "Black and Blue" tour.  A video was released of the
concert on 10/17/80 at Nassau Coliseum, New York.  A Japanese version
(complete with subtitles) is available through various video
distributors (see Goldmine or Discoveries for video dealers - it's
probably not available at your local video stores).  The video switches
back an forth between the two bands every 3-4 songs.  The video also
contains a video of "The Marshall Plan" (studio version of the song),
where a clean-shaven Eric Bloom plays the part of Johnny.  According to
Bolle Gregmar, the video is only available commercially on laserdisc.
However, copies on video cassette can be found.

     There is a video of the *Live 1976* performance (same title).  It
contains all the songs on the album, plus "E.T.I.".  Actually, it was
never intended as a "video", and was actually shot live at the Capital
Center (Largo, Maryland) in 1976 and projected on large screens at the
show (a common practice at the Capital Center - somewhat ahead of it's
time in 1976).  Someone kept a copy of the footage, and turned it into a
video.  When BOC performed at the Capital Center again in 1978, again
video on large screens was used, but the film was apparently not kept.
The sound quality of the video has been sharply criticized -- the
"quality" is good, but it is very poorly mixed.  This same poor mix
appears on the *Live 1976* CD as well.  Sound quality aside, the video
quality is quite good, and captures the band on its *Agents Of Fortune*
tour, complete with lasers, individual solos, and a 5-man guitar jam.

     While not an official video, many people made video copies of a
broadcast of a BOC show on 10/9/81 in Hollywood, Florida.  The
broadcast, which was part of the "Blue Jean Network", was simulcast on
MTV and other TV stations, as well as several radio stations.  Many of
the songs at this show were used for the *Extraterrestrial Live* album.

     Videos for the following songs have been made:  "The Marshall
Plan", "Burnin' For You", "Joan Crawford" (which MTV apparently found
too controversial to show), Veteran Of The Psychic Wars" (live, from
*Extraterrestrial Live*), "Roadhouse Blues" (live video of the band at
the Country Club in Reseda, CA on 12/15/81, with Robbie Krieger), "Born
To Rock", "Your Loving Heart", "Take Me Away", "Shooting Shark", and
"Dancin' In The Ruins".  A version of "Godzilla" (live shots of the
band, interspersed with clips from various Godzilla movies) may also
exist.  A video for "Astronomy" (from *Imaginos*) was also made, but
never released in the U.S.  In addition to the above videos, BOC made a
promotional video 3-pack of songs from *Mirrors* ("Mirrors", "In Thee",
"The Great Sun Jester"), and a promotional live video of 4 songs ("R. U.
Ready 2 Rock", "Godzilla", "Born To Be Wild", "(Don't Fear) The Reaper")
from their 12/30/77 show in Cobo Hall, Detroit Michigan.

     While not a BOC video, the movie, "The Stoned Age", contains lots
of references to BOC.  The movie, which might be considered rather funny
or rather stupid, depending on your point of view, sort of pays homage
to sex, drugs, and rock and roll in the 70's.  The lead character, a
youth named Joe, is a big BOC fan, who rides around with his buddy Hubbs
in search of the ultimate good time.  The car they drive, named "The
Blue Torpedo", has a big BOC logo on the hood.  Joe, who was hit by
BOC's lasers during a performance of "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" (a "pussy
song" according to Hubbs), has been having visions of a giant "gnarly
eyeball".  During the film, Joe and Hubbs basically spend their time
getting wasted, and trying pick-up girls to party with.  Aside from
about minutes worth of live footage of BOC playing "(Don't Fear) The
Reaper" (when Joe is hit by the lasers), there lots of BOC references in
the film.  One of the girls wears a BOC tour shirt with the *Tyranny And
Mutation" cover on it.  "(Don't Fear) The Reaper is played a few times,
as well as "Burnin' For You".  The use of "Burnin' For You" is erroneous
for the time depicted in the movie (mid to late 70's, when BOC used
lasers in concert) as this song came out in 1981.  Bolle Gregmar, Melne
Murphy, and The Museum of Cult are mentioned in the credits, as Bolle
served as the BOC advisor.  Finally, Eric Bloom and Buck Dharma have a
cameo appearance as bootleg t-shirt salesmen in the trailer after the
credits roll.  Finally, the versions of "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" and
"Burnin' For You" are the versions off of *Cult Classic* (no doubt to
avoid legal issues with Columbia, although CBS records is credited as
providing the BOC concert footage).


6. Three Men in Black Said, "Don't Report This" -- Other Sources Of Info

Bolle Gregmar -- BOC/Brain Surgeons Fan Clubs
---------------------------------------------

     Bolle Gregmar (who has personally known the band since around 1975)
is listed on both BOC's *Cult Classic*, and The Brain Surgeon's albums
as the person to write to for fan club information.  Bolle is also the
proprietor of "The Museum of Cult", where BOC fans from all over the
world go to see and hear the most complete collection of BOC music,
information, and memorabilia.  Also involved in running the fan club is
Melne Murphy, most famous as the artist responsible for the cover of
*Cult Classic*.  Send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the
following address for more information:

P.O. Box 931324
Los Angeles, CA  90093

     The BOC Fan Club had been "dormant" during 1994, after having
published 10 issues of the fan club's newsletter, "Morning Final" during
the 1990 - 1993 timeframe.  However, the fan club is back in full swing,
having released "Morning Final #11" and MF #12 in 1995.  At least two
more issues are planned for the near future.  Editor's note:  If you,
like me, were not in the fan club when MF 1-10 were released, fear not.
The fan club plans to create a compilation of all the information in MF
1-10 (with the exception of time-expired events, like tour dates), and
make it available to fan club members in the future.  With permission,
the FAQ will be updated in the future based on information in this
compilation.

     In addition, the fan club can be reached by e-mail.  Questions can
be directed to the following e-mail address:

Ben Cohen -- The BOC/Hawkwind E-Mail List (BOC-L)
-------------------------------------------------

     For those with internet access, there is an E-Mail discussion group
(moderated by Ben Cohen) dedicated to discussing the bands Blue Oyster
Cult and Hawkwind (since both bands have many similarities).  To join
the list, E-Mail a subscription request to the following address:

boc-request at listserv.spc.edu

     Editor's Note:  The subscription request address (well, the old
address -- BOC-L has been upgraded since then) is listed on the Brain
Surgeons' album, *Trepanation*, so you know this is a great group to be
a part of.

     You should receive an introductory file, after which you must
confirm that you want to sign up.  Once added to the list, you will
receive all posts to the list.

     Why does this discussion group handle both BOC and Hawkwind?  Well,
there are several similarities between the groups.  Both groups have
relatively small, but loyal (and somewhat rabid) followings.  Both
groups play a similar style of music, and have been around for years.
The music of both groups is heavily drawn-from science-fiction/fantasy
themes.  In addition, 3 of BOC's tunes ("The Great Sun Jester", "Black
Blade", "Veteran Of The Psychic Wars") were co-written by Hawkwind
member Michael Moorcock.  As an interesting aside, Eric Bloom and
Michael Moorcock once performed "Black Blade" and "Veteran Of The
Psychic Wars" together at a 1987 science fiction convention.


Albert Bouchard and Deborah Frost -- The Brain Surgeons
-------------------------------------------------------

     Former BOC drummer Albert Bouchard, and his wife Deborah Frost, now
both with The Brain Surgeons, are members of the BOC/Hawkwind E-Mail
list.  Members of BOC-L can reach them via the list.  If you are
interested in obtaining *Eponymous* or *Trepanation* (and can't find it
in your local record store), or information regarding The Brain
Surgeons, write to:

BOC on AOL
----------

     Subscribers to "America On-Line" may be able to hear from the band
directly as Eric Bloom often participates on some of the "chat" sessions
there (usually on a monthly basis).  In addition, Bolle Gregmar, Melne
Murphy, Albert Bouchard, Deborah Frost, and others regularly participate
in BOC discussions on AOL as well.  An AOL user can locate the Blue
Oyster Cult folder in the "Music Message Center" (Keyword "MMC").
Select the "Rock/Pop" category, then select "Rock Artists A-L (n/s)."
The (n/s) stands for non-scrolling.

     In addition, there is a folder set up for "Soft White Underbelly"
where a few hardcore fans (including Bolle Gregmar and Melne Murphy, and
former Soft White Underbelly vocalist Les Braunstein) also participate
in electronic dialog.  Select the "Rock/Pop" category, then select
"Classic Rock" to find it.


Other On-Line Sources
---------------------

     Discussions on BOC occasionally appear on some of the internet
newsgroups.  There is now an "official" BOC internet newsgroup, called
"alt.music.blueoystercult".  BOC discussion may also occasionally appear
on "alt.rock-n-roll", and "alt.rock-n-roll.classic".

     There is also a Blue Oyster Cult board on Prodigy.  Prodigy
subscribers can access the board in the following manner:

"jump" music1 bb

select "rock music a-k" from the select topics window
