Thank you, Damian. I always liked hell bent for leather, livin after midnight, Nostradamus and other songs. But yeah, Priest was and is a great band. I do remember that trial. And I do remember Rob Halford having to sing on the stand to prove they didn’t influence kids to commit suicide. I believe Ozzy went through the same dilemma.

Totally hear you on this one. Proud GenXer (born in 74) but I was influenced by my uncle who showed me bands like the Beatles and Queen. Yes, there was something special about those bands that to this day still have an influence on everyone. The 27 Club has always been interesting to me, those guys (and gals) have left that last impression, tragic and mysterious and the “what could have been” leaving many questions unanswered. Whenever I pull some of this music in van my kids call it the Geriatric Rock, but it’s one of the greatest eras of music.

Creepy. It seems her ghost has returned not fully intact. Perhaps she’s roaming the earth looking for answers.
Nice one, Harriet.-

She has every right to demand answers – albeit in the afterlife – I based the story on the Chernobyl reactor explosion. Thanks!

Passionately penned, Tim. Into the book it belongs! Excellent write my friend, you’re a great storyteller brother. I love pieces about music and this one didn’t disappoint. I remember the whole back masking deal, it all came to head during the Judas Priest trial. And then some people wonder what made the band write the “Painkiller” album after that trial. Nicely done. Appreciate you.
