    This my favorite song Aldo had done up to this point. I really liked the original video. There was a message behind this song and it flat out rocked! This was a big reflection on the music that was coming out in the 80's. I loved MTV when it first started into the 2nd or 3rd year before in manifested into something else. MTV was a big help to Aldo. Music is so much better with video of the band and is a great back drop for any message being conveyed. This song was so relevant at the time. It is just as relevant now. "Fantasy" and "Monkey on your back" are timeless master pieces that Aldo introduced to all of us. Thank you so much for sharing Aldo!!! I can't wait to here an instrumental album that is in you. I want you to write it all and play every instrument. The best album you ever did has still yet to be written and recorded.... I can't wait!!!! Thank you Aldo!

( been over 30 years...guess i 'could ask JK?) but i know we were being courted by Kenny Kommisar at Atlantic, and even Kalodner at Geffen at the time. many other 'names of A&R guys...being thrown about, during that time period. No...never performed under Gypsy Soul. that is a 'working title' name...that Kalil Turk, at Escape Music...decided to affix to our old Northrup product...for Release. ( unsure of 'why...he decided to do that?...JK knows...) That original Northrup band wouldn't have 'done a show' since 1990 or so. for something very recent..search for the "Mood Groove' Project on UA-cam...think there are several tunes on there (Funk Soul Sister...and 'Moon Calling Sun")...much more recently recorded down in Sac, at Alien Production by JK and his partner Scott Vice ( Ed Balldinger) along with myself and Larry Hart, both Northup Alumni...and a host of other great musicians. cool stuff...and JK did a marvelous job producing, playing and mixing/mastering all that. some very awesome 'Zappa-esque' material... hope you enjoy!

      Plenty of people were using MR. BROWNSTONE back in the 1980's and 1970's. And Crystal METH (Pervitin) was already used by the German Wehrmacht in WWII to reduce fear, reduce need of sleep, and increase aggressiveness - noting the HORRENDOUS Physical and Psychotic INSANITY EFFECTS of Crystal METH, as well as the PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE by destruction of brain cells, SHRINKING of the BRAIN's key MEMORY, ORIENTATION, and NAVIGATION areas, and destruction of the brain's MOTIVATION (REWARD - PUNISHMENT) function - leading to emotional and social withdrawal of even light users.

    Takes me back. Love the sound the lyrics and the attitude. Ahead of it's time. Begged my mom to sit down and watch this video, halfway through she got up and said: this damn song is about drugs!!!! And left in a huff. Mothers.......they just didn't understand. Lol.

    Definitely a state of the Art video for back then . I remember watching it and unfortunately learning the meaning of that term.
    And sadly to say I have lost several cousins to heroin addiction and thought that was a thing of the past until it came back in full force and has devastated many parts of our country. My one cousin stopped using and lived a clean life no alcohol no tobacco and lived 30 years longer then hepatitis from the needles got him. My other cousin every organ failed and she just diminished to wheel chair and body shutdown. Bayer the maker of aspirin created heroin to kill pain, " Man it just Kills" period end of story.

      You thought they would get a better monkey. Like Tom Savini's "Fluffy" from Creepshow. That's a terrifying monkey even though this song is about heroin addiction.

    The entire SUBJECT album is awesome, IMHO.
    I particularly enjoy Track 3 “Armageddon” and the scorching - Track 12 - “War Suite”
    It will forever remain engrained in the memories of my gloriously misspent youth.
    I purchased it on vinyl, and to this day enjoy listening to it.
    It’s crazy to think that during this era, and shortly thereafter, Aldo got hooked on the China White.

    This song really is quite underrated! Idk if it's as good as "Fantasy," but that riff is glorious. That solo is tasty too. Nova should have had more success. I found this vinyl recently and enjoy it. I'm now on the hunt for Twitch.
