ROYAL TRUX - 'THANK YOU'
THANK YOU by ROYAL TRUX Classic album by classic U.S. rock heroes. Their major label debut. A track like Ray-O-Vac is one of those types of songs that makes one wonder what in the world was on the minds and in the hearts of the songwriters when they wrote this song, which is named after a vacuum cleaner. The chorus: "Gotta build your rock/On the Ray-O-Vac/Gotta build your rock/On the Ray-O-Vac/On the Ray-O-Vac/On the Ray-O-Vac/Gotta build your rock/On the Ray-O-Vac" Is it something from somewhere in a heroin-imbued oblivion? Not having ever tried heroin, one can only wonder. Here is what CBS News anchor Dan Rather has to say on heroin: "...in 1955 or '56, I had someone at the Houston police station shoot me with heroin so I could do a story about it. The experience was a special kind of hell. I came out understanding full well how one could be addicted to 'smack,' and quickly." --from a July 1980 interview with Ladies' Home Journal.
