We will rock you, earthlings: Author claims there's a reason pop stars are spaced-out

By Sean L. McCarthy

Poor Bob Geldof.
His view that musicians can persuade politicians to end world poverty seems so shortsighted compared to Michael Luckman's belief - namely, that rock 'n' roll has an innate connection with extraterrestrials that can help heal the galaxy.
Luckman's new book, ``Alien Rock'' (VH1/Pocket Books), which hits stores this week, attempts to find every - and any - connection between aliens and rock music.
His claims:
Elvis Presley: Aliens hovered over his home at birth, visited him many times, taught him how to move clouds and heal the sick, and even showed The King his future.


John Lennon: Two close encounters with UFOs in the 1970s.

1. OK, look at this --
Elvis Presley: Aliens hovered over his home at birth, visited him many times, taught him how to move clouds and heal the sick, and even showed The King his future.
I got the same treatment, but I'm sick, broke, unemployed, and tone-deaf.

I mean, WTF? Did the Galactic High Council assign my case as punishment duty for getting stoned on patrol or something?

Damn it, gimme a freakin' aura or something. And after those little "experiments" (which I have since learned were NOT authorized by the Galactic Medical Association), at least an appointment with a competent proctologist!

3. I heard him on Coast to Coast this morning.
I listen to George in the mornings when I work out.
It was pretty interesting.

4. Is he hiring?
And I don't do crop circles. The night air is bad for my allergies.

5. Try booze, drugs, and hookers. Nothing alien about those...
Edited on Thu Aug-04-05 10:06 AM by HypnoToad
though people on them might be dressed as if they were aliens trying to fit in... :crazy: Except for the latter, in which case there's little room for clothing, *ahem*...

Edit: Spelling in subject line
