J.P Saticoy - Man, Myth or Legend?

For those of you who have looked through the liner notes of or listened to Powerman 5000's album Tonight The Stars Revolt should be familiar with the following quote, taken from the book An Eye is Upon You by JP Saticoy (1947):

Spinning complacently in the darkness
Covered and blinded by a blanket of little lives,
False security has lulled the madness of this world into a slumber
Wake up!!
An eye is upon you
Staring straight down and keenly through,
Seeing all that you are and everything that you will never be.
Yes, an eye is upon you, an eye ready to blink.
So face forward, with arms wide open and mind reeling. Your future has arrived ...
Are you ready to go?


I have looked through what online resources I could find, and find nothing relating to the book; only to the band or the quote in a sig.

Has anyone found any pertinent information about JP Saticoy or his book?

Any views on its authenticity? It is quite possible that An Eye is Upon You is merely a fictional book, much like HP Lovecraft's Necronomicon.

This is a double thread - I have replied to the one in books. If Music mods would like me to request that that thread be moved over here, PM me.

Cheers Kit-Cat.

Can anyone wanting to reply please do so in the thread in Books? I'll put this version of the thread forwards for locking.
