    Sirius is no better, they play old Kiss on Hair Nation all the time.
    Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.

            It was from before then. William Burroughs used the term, yet I'll be damned if I can remember where.

              Here ya go!
              Origins of "heavy metal"
              The origin of the term heavy metal is uncertain. An early use of the term was by counter-culture writer William S. Burroughs. In his 1962 novel The Soft Machine, he introduces the character "Uranian Willy, the Heavy Metal Kid". His next novel in 1964 Nova Express, develops this theme further, heavy metal being a metaphor for addictive drugs. Another aspect of these novels is the use of recorded sound to free oneself from a programmed life and the alienation caused by an increasingly mechanical world.

              "With their diseases and orgasm drugs and their sexless parasite life forms - Heavy Metal People of Uranus wrapped in cool blue mist of vaporized bank notes - And the Insect People of Minraud with metal music"

                  Damn. You apparently could open a Burroughs novel to a random page and name your band after the terms written there. Steely Dan, Soft Machine...an article featuring the various names would be an interesting read.

                  Thanks for the info, kwame.

                    It's been so many years since I read Burroughs, I am getting some of his books tomorrow. Been looking for a good read, I just finished some non-fiction and need a break from that stuff.
