Carolina at Chapel Hill Lines: 10 I can't remember the context (this is going 'way back to the brain-damaged sixties) exactly, but the phrase "Heavy Metal Kids" was, I think, the origin of the term 'heavy metal' as originally applied to groups like Blue Cheer (geez, was it *that* long ago??). My admittedly vague recollection is that the phrase Heavy Metal Kids originally came from one of William Burrough's novels, possibly Nova Express (?). It's been a long time, so forgive if this is off-base.
