...hair," he deadpans. "And in Mister Roger's neighborhood they're rendered even more sinister because they're represented as being goody-goody." In the rock opera, they're cutting the crap, and doing it straight-take sinister. An evil triumvirate consisting of the Purple Panda, King Friday, and Eichmann the Mole end up killing everyone else. Vaux adds, "What better musical form to create utter evil but 12-tone...
