Men in Black by Frank Black

Dinner plate specials

Ray Bradbury, the author of Fahrenheit 451, passed away this week. I was looking for a rock and roll connection, and my first thought was Frank Black's third solo album from 1996, The Cult of Ray.Yes, the album title is a reference to Bradbury and the album even has a track titled 'The Cult of Ray'. I decided to pick the most sci-fi track off the album and chose 'Men in Black', an ode to those mysterious men who supposedly harass UFO investigators.
