Hi-Hi, Sarcofiguy!

I was thinking these sounded like drum machines. Which sort of makes sense for these songs.

I would think he would need to follow his muse, and having a band around could slow him down.

I have a very distinct memory of seeing "The Black Hole" at a drive in with my parents, my second drive-in movie. (The first was "Raiders of The Lost Ark.") While not a great movie, sadly, I have ever since been obsessed with "The Black Hole."
