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.
