The Consumers Blue Light Special Cassette Tape cover. Originally called The Consumers, the band changed its name to Primal Consumers because of a band merger. The album Blue Light Special includes the song Billy Pilgrim Blues, based on a character in Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five. Vonnegut called the song "excellent" but criticized one line in which lyricist Boyle discounts war. Primal Consumers lyrics were quoted extensively in the science fiction novel Ziebrig.
