"Family Snapshot" is one of the most creepy songs I've heard in a long time.

You can take your shock rock and shove it. This one is about a million times worse. Exactly what it's about is debatable: The song is about an assasination and while details relate to the JFK assasination, the thoughts of the killer in the song are lifted from Arthur Bremer's An Assassin's Diary.

Good olde fashioned nightmare fuel. And the lyrics have this amazing, almost dreamlike quality too:

All you people in TV land
I will wake up your empty shells
Peak-time viewing blown in a flash
As I burn into your memory cells


How's that for a description of a breaking news report? o_O
