Vice Squad Rock n Roll Massacre

[gunsnfnroses]

Vice Squad is the band
Rock n Roll Massacre is the song.

The lyrics are about rock n roll casualties mostly from the 70s (Brian Jones, Janice Joplin, Jimi Hendrix)

but there is one line in the song and I can't figure out who they're talking about. Any help here?

"Bible-pusher's son was alright then
For a backstreet Crawler the flight didn't end"

[CheapJon]

huh, weird.. it seems it's about bisexual dragons having sex with trees while reading comics

It's about Paul Kossof, the lead guitarist with a rock band called Free and Back Street Crawler (1975). He died of drug related heart problems on a flight from Los Angeles to New York. His father David Kossof was an actor and became an evangelist after his son's death.

[Genesis]

On a side note, Paul Kossof was an exceptional blues based rock guitarist. The Free song "All Right Now" was covered by Brian May and features Slash and Paul Rodgers (of Free).
