Giant Black Low Leaving Naked River

This compilation of indie rock and alt-country has its runout grooves split up a phrase: "Believe it or not..." and then on Side 2, "I got nothing to say!!"

I wonder if this is to be sung to the tune of "Believe It or Not", the song composed by Mike Post (music) and Stephen Geyer (lyrics) and sung by American singer Joey Scarbury. This was the theme song for the television series The Greatest American Hero, which in the early 80s I liked as a socially awkward nerd since the hero and I shared hair styles and general appearance, or so I was told.

Graham Parker ‎– Human Soul

Matrix / Runout of Side A here of Human Soul is etched w/"BEIZEL LIVES". But, who is Beizel? I believe that is the name of a founder of an American religious community, but this could be a more inside reference.

This album has on the B-side Matrix / Runout the etched message "RICK AND JOHN BIACTOLBOYS". Is that mean take on some chaps with acne? Actually, a bigger mystery to me about side 2 is what sounds like an unintentional inclusion of a part of a song after the end of "Slash and Burn".
