Heavy Metal hit the theaters in my area at the beginning of my junior year. My friends and I wasted no time in high-tailing it up to Landover Mall to see it. Despite it’s “R” rating and our obviously younger than 17 age, we had no problems securing tickets. Afterward we hit the local ice cream place and bailed on the bill. We did leave a tip though!
Heavy Metal definitely spoke to us at the time, especially the Den story, about a geeky kid getting sucked into an alternate world where he looks like a body builder and sleeps with beautiful women.
Little did I know at the time how prophetic Devo’s Working in a Coal Mine would turn out to be…..
What memories does this song make you think of?
