Rock And Roll Is A Lie

...and that lie almost killed me. (The Allure of Rock and Roll)
HollywoodBobsays...

All these Christian videos are going to give me a tumor.

This must have been produced prior to the influx of Christian rock bands, that have become so popular with the young people.

And does anyone else want to hear the story behind how rock and roll almost killed that guy? That's like saying "If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college."

I've told the devil to stop washing my brain a million times now and he just don't listen! I guess I'm just destined to burn in hell for all eternity. Damn rock and roll music!

Huey Lewis is Satan?


Sure! Don't you remember the infamous songs:

The Heart of Lucifer (Is Still Beatin')
Do You Believe in Satan?
(I'll Eat Your) Heart and Soul
Sinin' For A Livin'
Doing It All For My Beelzebub

Everyone knows rock is gateway music....before you know it, you'll be listening to jazz and even polka.

I do agree with the last statement 100% though. Watching TV shrinks your penis.

Actually, given the bands they're citing, this was right in the heyday of Christian Rock. This was back when Petra was still rock (instead of pop), Stryper was going strong, and parents insisted on taking their kids to seminar after seminar about how even Christian Rock was the devil's music.

To further expand on what I was saying, there were popular Christian "rock" groups (e.g., Beatles knock-offs) as early as the late 60s, and once it started, it generally didn't take long for Christian artists to begin emulating the popular music of the day whenever a new variation of rock came along (See: Larry Norman). Typically, they had fans who realized they were trying to use modern music to preach Christianity, and they had opponents who believed the devil was in their music.

Growing up as a fundamentalist Christian, I got to witness this bizarre schism first-hand as I listened to speaker after speaker tell me that the "backbeat" in rock and roll music was pulled from African witchery, and it was this beat that made the music evil - not necessarily the lyrics or the singers. If you look hard enough, you can still find old webpages devoted to exposing the evils of "Christian Rock." I'm so happy I grew up like I did, because it made it so much easier for me to forget about Christianity
