"Step into a world...
Where there's no one left...
But the very best....
No MC can test.

Step into a world, where hip-hop is me....
Where MCs and DJs
Build up their skills as they play every day....
For the....
Rapture"

- Debbie Harry (Blonde)

"Under the influence
Under the influence
Their mind control
They steal your soul

Under the influence
Under the influence
Look what you do
That's not the real you

Under the influence
Under the influence
Why can't you see
You'll never be free"

The next chapter in the "I'm A Person Just Like You" series is a band called: SSD

"Formed by songwriter/guitarist Al Barile, SSD started performing at smaller venues throughout the Greater Boston metropolitan area in the summer of 1981. The band quickly gained notoriety within the local music scene for intense, charged performances and the provocative antics of their core group of followers, the Boston Crew."

"I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes
And make it go away
How long...
How long must we sing this song
How long, how long...
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight..."

"She went away for the holidays
Said she's going to L.A.
But she never got there
She never got there
She never got there, they say

The KKK took my baby away
They took her away
Away from me
The KKK took my baby away
They took her away
Away from me"
