:Q
*stares at shinerburke's eye* All is quiet in the room but a soft machine throbbing.
*glances over at the chip board, room door*
*glances back at shinerburke's eye*
*makes a mad dash to the door, opens it and begins pulling boards from their slots*
Seems as though many of you don't know who Mr. Roboto is!
I think there would be a certain post-modern elegance to bringing back this rock opera in this day and age.

If it's getting harder to face every day
Don't let it show, don't let it show
Though it's getting harder to take what they say
Just let it go, just let it go
Don't let it show, don't let it show
Though it's getting harder to take what they say
Just let it go, just let it go

I thought he was coming out of the closet
And Daisy retorted, in song;
Rufus, Rufus, here is your answer true
I'm not crazy over the love of you
There won't be any marriage
if you can't afford a carriage
'Cause I'll be damned if I'll be crammed
on a bicycle built for two

So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
ZV
EDIT: Dang it. Tweakmm beat me to it. So, here's more:
I'm not a robot, without emotion, I'm not what you see,
I've come to help you, with your problems, so we can be free.
I'm not a hero, I'm not a savior, forget what you know,
I'm just a man whose circumstances, went beyond his control.
wait... you're Kilroy?
got it immediately BTW.... my brother wouldn't take me to the Styx concert 'cause I was to young but I did listen to that album virtually daily growing up

Robert Orin Charles Kilroy 4 evah!
For the record, I saw the title and thought to myself, "There's no way that's about Kilroy, but I've just got to find out..."
ZV
EDIT: The Past
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.
Rober 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 mistfits...
The Present
...is a future where Japanese manufactured robots, designed to work cheaply and endlessley, 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 MM 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 attept 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.
