Hey everybody! Here are some cool pictures of Chuck WEARING AN EYEBALL! I think these were taken for some kind of Freak Show promo photos and never got used or were changed around a lot or something, but they’re nice like this.

“21st Century Schizoid Man” is a song by progressive rock band King Crimson from their debut album In the Court of the Crimson King.
The song’s lyrics consist of a short poem with one or more metaphors in every line.
The song makes reference to the Vietnam War as exemplified in the lyric “innocents raped with napalm fire” and “politicians’ funeral pyre.” Before a live performance of the song on 14 December 1969 (as shown in the live album Epitaph), Fripp remarked that the song was dedicated to “an American political personality whom we all know and love dearly. His name is Spiro Agnew.”
Musically, the song is notable for its heavily distorted vocals sung by Greg Lake, a driving mechanical rhythm and piercingly loud saxophone and guitar, along with its instrumental middle section, called “Mirrors”. Most of the song is in either 4/4 or 6/8 time, save for the end of the song, which is in free time.
“21st Century Schizoid Man” was released in 2009 as a digital download by The Human Experimente, featuring performances by Jeffrey Fayman, Robert Fripp, and Maynard James Keenan.
Cat's foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia's poison door.
Twenty first century schizoid man.
Blood rack barbed wire
Polititians' funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man.
Death seed blind man's greed
Poets' starving children bleed
Nothing he's got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man.
