I was livin' in a devil town
Didn't know it was a devil town
Oh lord it really brings me down
About the devil town

And all my friends were vampires
Didn't know they were vampires
Turns out I was a vampire myself
In the devil town

I was livin' in a devil town
Didn't know it was a devil town
Oh lord it really brings me down
About the devil town
Me and Theresa Coffee
Went and saw Roky play
He sang Bloody Hammer
And Two Headed Dog

The band was true believers
But the promoters turned the power off
He said: "I've been drinking lots of blood."
The crowd went wild

haven’t listened to him in years, but the last two lines came to mind re: what you were saying on the last page. to me they sort of evoke what lester bangs talks about in his article about jim morrison “bozo dionysus” - this privilege rock stars have to disregard and abuse the people around them thanks to their admirers' superstition that it’s somehow necessary and conducive for their genius.

I watched a biopic of Dylan Thomas a few years ago that had very much this vibe about it.

That Daniel Johntson song is a real gem, but also this one comes to mind:


In Casle Bran, Transylvania
On Saint Swithens day he was born
Eyes stare through the darkness with no form
Necks his bite horns

yeah poets were surely the major precursor in that regard. i guess a lot of the renaissance artists as well. cellini for example apparently just went around killing people and the church was like “he’s a genius, it’s fine”
