[Rev. Rye]

And there's a fascinatingly insane reason that I wound up thinking about this song.

I read a Cracked article about a kid whose life changed when a family friend killed five people as part of a bizarre plan that seems to go like this:

Phase 1: Befriend an old lady with $100,000.
Phase 2: Kidnap her and and her family, kill them, and hope the rottweiler they just adopted would eat their bodies.
Phase 4: Invest that $100,000 to start a self-help movement
Phase 6: Use the proceeds to fund an army of Brazilian child soldiers.
Phase 7: Use said army of Brazilian child soldiers to assassinate the heads of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints so they can take over
Phase 9: PROFIT!!!!

While looking for more information about the case, specifically the steps that were supposed to make this whole plan make some sort of sense, I discovered that, not only did the case not have an article on Wikipedia, the most information I found there was on Elvin Bishop's article. Why? Because it turns out his daughter and ex-wife ended up among the deceased.

If you're wondering where the daughter and ex-wife ended up killed, well, as far as I can tell, the daughter was the girlfriend of one of the killers, who killed her after she collected the money (despite not knowing about the plot), and her mom and stepdad were killed to stop them from going to the cops.

Still a good song, even if Elvin Bishop wasn't the best former lead guitarist for the Paul Butterfield Blues Band.
