More on Son of Sam
Description from Wikipedia:
"Son of Sam" is a song written by Elliott Smith. It was released on his fifth studio album Figure 8 in April 2000, and then as a single in November 2000.
The song was not about the real life "Son of Sam", serial killer David Berkowitz. Smith explained, "It's not about the serial killer, I'm not sure exactly what it's about because it's just sort of like telling someone a dream you had last night. There are some destructive figures in it, 'Son of Sam', Shiva... but Shiva's also associated with creativity... I'm not sure... it's just an impressionistic song about destruction and creativity, I guess; if it's about anything."
The song is featured in the film Antitrust and an acoustic version appears as a b-side on the "Happiness" single.
