Wow... I can't believe no one has said anything about this song. It is probably one of most controversial Styx songs in my opinion. The guy is talking about the evils of rock and roll and how they are so often accompanied by sex and illegal drugs. I will say that I havce nothing againsat rock and roll, but it seems to me that it is a misconception that everyone who listens to rock and roll are druggies and sleep around. So I guess there are to sides to weigh. BTW, does anyone know what the latin phrase at the beginning of the song song means?

Quote:

The only backwards message I know of Styx inserting into a song is the very obvious reversal of Annuit Cœptis Novus Ordo Seclorum in the beginning of Heavy Metal Poisoning. This, contrary to the satanic facade that up-tight rock haters have given Styx means "God has been with us through our undertakings." Kinda cool.

Hope that helps, if 11yrs too late..
