[kj] remasters-BTATS

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

So it's pure coincidence that there is also a work of fiction from the 
early 1970s about a rock band who are obsessed with the apocalypse and 
who use "Brighter than a thousand suns" as a repetitive lyrical phrase 
in their songs... I know the writer of the story (Norman Spinrad, not an 
obscure author) must have also, presumably, gotten that phrase from the 
"old Sanskrit writing," if that's all true, but it's awfully odd that it 
would appear in a story about a gloomy rock band who it in their music, 
only a few years before KJ formed.

Oh well, stranger things have happened.
