Pada tahun 2001 yang lalu, Pretty Ugly, sebuah kugiran yang memainkan muzik psychedelic rock di Malaysia telah mengeluarkan lirik yang aneh bagi single bertajuk “En Ronald Moore”.
Sebenarnya lirik tersebut adalah berdasarkan tragedi yang benar-benar berlaku di Dallas, Amerika Syarikat kira-kira 14 tahun yang lalu.
Ikuti kupasan ringkas yang mendebarkan ini.

Father who ordered son to shoot him in head dies
DALLAS (AP) – A man who pleaded with his 6-year-old son to shoot him died Wednesday, three days after a gun went off as Ronald Moore and the boy held the gun to Moore’s head.
Moore, 42, had been in critical condition since Sunday night’s shooting at the family’s south Oak Cliff home. A spokeswoman at Methodist Medical Center said he died Wednesday afternoon.
A police report said Moore held the .22-caliber derringer in his 6-year-old son’s hands Sunday and pleaded with the boy to shoot him. The boy resisted, but the report said the weapon discharged as they both held the gun. Moore was struck in the left temple.
The report did not say who pulled the trigger, but the boy later told his mother and investigators, “My daddy made me shoot him.”
Police said no charges would be filed in the case. The shooting is being investigated as a suicide.
The boy’s mother told police that Moore had been drinking vodka all day and that by Sunday afternoon he “began to go through mood swings.”
Moore’s wife told investigators he asked her to stab him earlier that evening, but she refused.
He told her he had two guns in the house, then pulled the phone cord out of the wall “so that no one could call 911,” according to the police report.
Some time later, the report said, Moore went to his children’s bedroom and told his 6-year-old son that he would “shoot your mom, then you, and then your brother.”
The son said Moore handed the gun to him and told him to pull the trigger. The boy said he refused several times before the father made him put his hand on the gun.

Pada ketika itu, sememangnya para peminat muzik di Malaysia tidak menyangka lirik lagu ini diambil dari keratan akhbar pada tahun 2001, di mana kejadian yang menyayat hati itu berlaku dan pada masa yang sama Pretty Ugly mengeluarkan album sulungnya. Membikin lirik berdasarkan kandungan di dalam keratan akhbar adalah sungguh kreatif dan amat unik dari kebiasaan dan ini menghasilkan karya yang memiliki seni yang tersendiri.
Jika kita dengar lirik ini dengan alunan melodi psychedelic rock dengan tempo yang berbau nada klasik merry-go-round, akan membangkit satu aura gelap yang mengganggu; mungkin inilah mengapa ia dipanggil psychedelic, seperti sesuatu yang surreal yang menimbulkan tandatanya yang mengkhayalkan.
