My Friday featured track for this week is Blue Oyster Cult’s masterpiece “Don’t Fear the Reaper.” It has a haunting melancholy and masterful guitars. It’s been the source of controversy as many people assume it is advocating suicide. For the record, the band claims it is simply about not fearing death.
Nevertheless, it’s such a part of our culture that it has influenced other notable works. For instance, Stephen King has admitted that he wrote his book “The Stand” while listening to it. If you’ve never heard it, where have you been? Here’s a video to check it out.
