        Hold the phone… You’re telling me that it’s possible that Bob Marley also shot the deputy? Wait… Did he even shoot the sheriff? And if so, how can we be sure that it was in self defense?! Oh man, my whole world is upside-down now.

        Still one of the most metal lyrics ever.

        “I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die

        How much more detached and psychotic can you get? Even with goregrind, the motive is clear, albeit deranged. This is just, fuck it, I just want this person dead just to see them die.

      That song was initially “Levittown,” but he changed it to make the message appear to a wider audience. And Billy Joel sings about growing up on Long Island all the time! You can still meet him at his Scenes Italian Restaurant if you know the right neighborhood.

        He came into my job once! He’s a real jerk from what I’ve been told and wouldn’t even look at any of us let alone a nod or a wave as we’re just worthless factory schmucks lol
