Michael Hubert Kenyon (Elgin, Illinois, 1944) is an American criminal nicknamed the Enema Bandit. He pleaded guilty to a decade-long series of armed robberies of female victims, some of which involved sexual assaults where he would give them enemas. He is also known as the "Champaign Enema Bandit," the "Ski Masked Bandit", and "The Illinois Enema Bandit".
The Illinois Enema Bandit
Frank Zappa wrote the song Legend Of The Illinois Enema Bandit about Kenyon. He heard about the criminal on a local radio station in Chicago. Intrigued by the news he wanted to know more about Kenyon's deeds. The first half of the song describes real life events about Kenyon, but the second half (the court case) is more a parody of traditional blues songs like Willie Dixon's "Back Door Man". In Dixon's song a man is also brought before a judge for his sexual misdeeds, while the women in the courthouse plea for his release.
