Dr. Everett Righteous, founder and leader of the MMM, (The Majority for Musical
|
|
Morality) became influential in American politics through the use of his own
|
|
cable t.v. network. He spoke about the evils of Rock 'n Roll music, and how
|
|
its permissive attitudes were responsible for the moral and economic decline of
|
|
America. He was charismatic, entertaining, and above all, he understood the
|
|
media. The MMM soon gained enough power to have Rock 'n Roll banned.
|
|
|
|
Robert Orin Charles Kilroy was a world famous Rock 'n Roll star. As this new
|
|
law was passed, Kilroy and his band were finishing a national tour. Their last
|
|
performance, at the Paradise Theatre, would serve as the test case. On the
|
|
night of the concert, as Kilroy played to a packed house, the MMM marched in
|
|
and stormed the stage. When it was over, a MMM protester was dead...Kilroy
|
|
was convicted of murder and sent to a prison ship with other
|
|
Rock 'n Roll misfits...
|
|
|

...Is a future where Japanese manufactured robots, designed to work cheaply and
|
|
endlessly, are the caretakers of society. "Mr. Robotos" are everywhere,
|
|
serving as manual labor in jobs that were once held by humans...
|
|
|
|
Dr. Righteous enforces his own morality by holding nightly rallies where crowds
|
|
hurl Rock 'n Roll records and electric guitars into huge bonfires...Jonathan
|
|
Chance, the rebel leader of an underground movement to bring back Rock 'n Roll,
|
|
has made Kilroy the symbol of his cause. Meanwhile, Kilroy has spent a number
|
|
of years in prison. With no hope of release, he is subjected to the
|
|
humiliation of mind control via the MMM Cable Network. In an attempt to
|
|
contact Kilroy, Jonathan jams the airwaves of the MMM network, replacing a mind
|
|
control session with outlawed footage of a Kilroy concert. Inspired by
|
|
Jonathan's message, Kilroy plots his escape. Late one night, he makes a daring
|
|
attempt to free himself by overpowering a Roboto guard. Disguised as a Roboto,
|
|
Kilroy moves freely throughout the city leaving graffiti coded messages for
|
|
Jonathan. Jonathan discovers the "Rock Code" which leads him to the old
|
|
Paradise Theatre, now the site of Dr. Righteous' Museum of Rock Pathology.
|
|
There he sees the last Kilroy concert mechanically depicted by Kilroy
|
|
look-alike robots as the violent end of Rock 'n Roll...and there, he and Kilroy
|
|
meet for the first time.

And if I could only talk to you It's useless to spend the time it
|

I'm sure that I could make you see takes you to try
|
|
'Cause time has a way But can't you see that I'm here
|
|
of bringing even mountains down, And I'm looking just the same
|
|
down, down And I don't know why. . .
|
|
Storm clouds are coming
|
|
I suggest you head for higher ground I could be a movie star
