The second album the young doctor purchased, after going 1 for 1 with Styx's Paradise Theater, was Blue Oyster Cult's Fire of Unknown Origin. I remember a couple things about this lp. It was heavily advertised and talked up on 97.3 KRQR (the rocker!). I don't think co.'s advertise records anymore, at least not rock. They had this swami kid from the Sinbad: Eye of the Tiger movie doing the voice pitch. Burnin For You became a huge hit, but I still like the title track, Vengance, Soul Survivor, Psychic Wars, and Joan Crawford is the band's most ironic tune - I'm counting Godzilla. At school we drew the BOC cross on our hands and binders. The record's enjoyable and will still make you stupid.
