Now I understand why Stalin was such a big WHAM! fan
Heavy Metal does ROCK, if you have the brains to understand it. At least according to Stuart Cadwallader who authored a British study that found that "teenagers who lock themselves in their bedrooms to blast out heavy metal music may simply be trying to cope with the pressures of being gifted." And that "heavy metal fans often appreciate the "complex and sometimes political themes" of the music." Yes, the subtle geopolitical intricacies of Poison's "Talk Dirty to Me" may escape lesser minds, but I knew it was about the delicate relationship between President Reagan and Soviet Premier Gorbachev. And we all know that Warrant's "Cherry Pie" was all about growing up under the threat of nuclear annihilation.
