this sort of thing is closer to my pal Chris' sense of humor, but this was too good for me to pass up. it's even funnier that it's in what later turned into a "heavy metal" magazine. at this point it was a fair mix of music, but not as much fun as CREEM magazine (no wonderful captions on these photos, more like a quote from the article).
they also had lyrics for songs in the back, and I've only heard about half of them.

the big news is getting any girl with psychic mind control within five minutes! talk about appealing to horny teenage boys. I wonder how many actually sent $11 to this place to get this astounding secret of mind control. how would you explain that to your parents when it arrived in the mail?

for the record, I didn't waste my $11.
