The Whitman explanation isn't without foundation, but it seems that I remember one of the composers remarking that it was inspired by a somewhat famous (locally, anyway) stand-off/barricade situation happening in like 1970 or 1971, in which a kid killed his dad and other family members, and holed up with a big bag of industrial dynamite. I'm not clear on how the situation was resolved. I find it questionable if shootings of such high visibility persons are "commonplace". It DOES seem true that the society had become more violent. And the more we disarm it, the worse it seems to get. PROGRESS!?!?! I guess Charles Schumer must think so. |
