	i don't think it is part of the trilogy, that's alive, once and footsteps, isn't it?

No Picture Dan Average	#2 by Dan Johnson at Oct 29, 1979 at 7:22 PM EST
	this is part of the mamasan trilogy

No Picture KING KEVIN Average	#3 by KING KEVIN BLAIR at Jan 22, 1980 at 1:12 AM EST
	Yes, this song is not a part of the Mamasan Trilogy. Mamasan Trilogy: Alive, boy looks like his biological father and his mother molests him. Once, after being molested, it screws the boy up and he grows up and turns into a serial killer. Footsteps, man is on death row. I have heard someone mention the "Man Trilogy" (Betterman, leatherman, nothingman) although I don't think there is any sort of connection. Possibly. But I know that betterman was written about his stepfather and mother.
