I remember reading a robert anton wilson bit in which he quotes a (possibly 
fictional) feminist activist as saying that the ninth was obviously a rape 
fantasy set to music. i figured this possibly non existant woman had seen a 
clockwork orange too many times but perhaps the song has some ultra-violence 
in it. personally i'm not inclined to think music makes violence, but it's 
too early to get into the psychology of music.
