  In the early 80s, I was a member of the New York L-5 society,
which promoted space colonization, which somehow swung a deal to
have its monthly meetings at the OMNI's offices after hours.
 OMNI was published by Kathy Keeton, girlfriend and later wife of
Bob Guccione. As a result, it shared editorial offices with
Penthouse magazine.
 The wall posters throughout the offices were entertaining, to
say the least.

The line in the song right after the part I quoted was:
They're closer to Penthouse than science.
