Misfits - Legacy Of Brutality (Plan 9 / Caroline Records) original jewel case compilation record from 1994. The numbers following tracks on the reverse and lyric book are dates from when recorded. The album contains overdubbed mixes of previously unreleased tracks, mainly from the January–February 1978 Static Age sessions. Besides the coffin Box Set, this is the only album to contain the songs "American Nightmare" and "Who Killed Marilyn?". This compilation was one of the first (aside from bootlegs) to release many of the Static Age tracks to the common public. Glenn Danzig, having mixed and produced it, overdubbed much of the album's material without consulting any former band members. 1. Static Age 2. TV Casualty 3. Hybrid Moments 4. Spinal Remains 5. Come Back 6. Some Kinda Hate 7. Theme For A Jackal 8. Angelfuck 9. Who Killed Marilyn? 10. Where Eagles Dare 11. She 12. Halloween 13. American Nightmare ____________ #glenndanzig #danzig #misfits #themisfits #doyle #doylewvf #doylewolfgangvonfrankenstein #Jerryonly #MichaleGraves #drchud #thecrimsonghost #crimsonghost #misfitsfiend #fiend #fiendclub #wearethefiendclub #theoriginalmisfits #legacyofbrutality

Young Americans (song)

“To be a Young American in Muskrat Love….” [1]

“I wanted to get into that Warholism of Polaroiding things… Young Americans was my photograph of American music at the time.” [2]

Opening the 1975 album of the same name, “Young Americans” tells the story of an imagined young newlywed couple who in Bowie’s own words “don't know if they really like each other.” [3] Their relationship doubts and subsequent struggles color the lyrics as the song follows them in vignettes. 

In this introduction to his “plastic soul” career phase, Bowie references parts of American experience mentioning cars such as the Ford Mustang, Chrysler, and Cadi, short for Cadillac; politics with lyrics referencing McCarthyism by asking “now have you been the un-American” and asking if his audience remembers the very recently resigned President of the United States Richard Nixon;  American television program Soul Train, on which he would later appear; and in what makes for a unintentional call forward to the lyrics of “Angry Inch”, Barbie dolls. [4, 5, 6]

Not all of the references managed to stay in America though with the opening line “they pulled in just behind the fridge,” a sly reference to a Peter Cook/Dudley Moore theatre presentation Behind the Fridge on May 9th, 1973 and the more overt Beatles reference when in the bridge the chorus exclaims “I heard the news today, oh boy!,” a direct lift from “A Day in the Life” from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967). [7, 8] Notably, Bowie worked with Beatles member John Lennon on Young Americans “Fame” and “Across the Universe” appearing later on the album. [4]

Outside of cultural references, the song also features a distinct theme of violence both against others (“ain’t there a woman I can sock the jaw?) and against the self (“would you carry a razor…just in case of depression?”), a possible holdover from the American violence he had witnessed while touring The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. [9]

Frequent mondegreens for the song include debates as to whether or not “they pulled in behind the fridge” or “the bridge” and whether he’s ��blushing at all the Afro-Shelias” (“a Shelia” being slang for an attractive woman”) or the “Afro-Sheeners” (Afro-Sheen being a popular hair product for afro styled hair and the first black sponsor of Soul Train.) [10, 11]

And as well as being referenced in text, this song has been used in the preshow music for Hedwig shows on Broadway, for the 2017 Japanese Special Show, and rotating in and out of play as part of the preshow music for the behind the scenes show The Origin of Love.
