My Head Is Full of Ghosts
My head is full of ghosts
But I’m no revenant
Despite my resident’s rivalry
And I’ll be the faithful pilot
On our blind trajectory
Do you want to know a secret
Will you hold it close and dear
This will not be made apparent
But you and I are not alone in here
My head is full of ghosts
No apparition
A partition from the host
A temple of cognition
And forbidden to approach
Oh to hell with superstition
There’s a stranger in the house
I don’t need no exorcism
I need a key
And the lock is inside out
Now meta-cognition is just intuition
And dreamers we’ll bark at the moon
The weaver’s unknown by the loom
My head is full of ghosts
And I’m the pilot
Of ultra-violent ancestry
And I’ll destroy these passers-by
With zest and artistry
Ghost!
Part apparition
A partition from the host
A temple of the hidden
And unbidden to approach

43 years ago today, Fear were banned from Saturday Night Live
I just read this story on Facebook and felt I had to share it with you
One of the most chaotic and notorious musical performances in Saturday Night Live history took place on Halloween 1981 🎃
Fear fan John Belushi pave the way to get the band on SNL, hoping to make up for wasting Fear’s time on a song they’d recorded for the film Neighbors, which had been rejected by the producers. In order to make their national television debut convincingly punk, Belushi brought down a crowd of punk kids from Washington DC to come up for the show and slam dance in front of the stage, including Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat, John Brannon of Negative Approach, and Harley Flanagan and John Joseph, who’d later go on to form The Cro-Mags. “He wanted 15 to 20 people,” Ving explained, “but they stopped in Baltimore and Philly before they got to New York and arrived with 35, 40 people.” The SNL director initially refused to allow the moshpit to go on during the show but was later convinced by Belushi to leave it in.
The band rocked through songs "Beef Bologna" and "New York's Alright if You Like Saxophones" while their loyal fans went nuts on the studio’s floor. Suddenly, frenzied mosh pits were taken out of the dark, sweaty clubs and shoved directly onto TV screens across America.
The punk fans became unhinged, damaging production equipment, and grabbing a microphone and screaming expletives on live television. The latter offense was the final straw, as the network cut away to a prerecorded Eddie Murphy sketch. “The main NBC guy was at home watching with his wife and freaked out, calling the station saying, ‘Go to stock footage. Cut, cut, cut!” Ving recalled.
Reports of studio damages varied wildly: when a reporter suggested to Ving that figures being thrown around were around $200,000, the singer balked, claiming that the damages were at least twice that (when in fact, the band actually only had to pay around $40 in labor penalties). It all only served to make Fear more notorious.
