anyone know what the backwards masking at the beginning of "Fire On High" says?
(I do)
The music is reversible, but time is not. Turn back! Turn back!
Or something like that.
And as for artists from St. Louis, I would submit Uncle Tupelo. OK, they started in Belleville Illinois, but that's fairly close to St. Louis, and I know that two of the original member still live there. (And the third, Jeff Tweedy, still roots for the Cards and the Blues.)
exactly right on the ELO trivia, although I think it's 'Go Back' not 'Turn Back'
I'll gladly accept Uncle Tupelo, Belleville is definitely considered a suburb of St. Louis. Peter Buck apparently spent some time there (or in neighboring Collinsville) at least I had a friend who claimed to have worked with him in some crappy part-time job there.
