First thing I thought of too when I read the title.

 

I do remember the backmasking thing and thought it was a bunch of nonsense, presented by people who spent way too much time trying to hear what they wanted to hear.

Heck yeah. Pre-Tipper Gore. the religious nutjobs trying to make something out of nothing because, as we know, rock and roll music is the Debbils music. The first heavy metal record I bought was Paranoid and it's been nearly 40 years since then and I've yet to sacrifice a baby, or a virgin, or even pray to Satan (why pray to something that doesn't exist?).

That's Jan Crouch in that video

 

I remember when we got the big satellite dish in the mid 80s and we found her and her husband on TBN ... I sis called the telephone number and said "Why does she have purple hair ?" and the people on the line said that it must be the setting on our TV because it didn;t look purple there in the studio ..

 

Not only riding Zep's coattails, but The Big Guy too

 

shame on you Jan

Hideously unattractive and dumber than a bag of hammers. One of which it would probably take to remove that makeup. Preying on the elderly in the name of their god. Too bad there isn't a hell because they'd be there.

The Ninth and Innermost Circle of Hell, according to Dante Alighieri.

 

The final, deepest level of Hell - reserved for traitors, betrayers and oathbreakers. Televangelists deserve nothing less.

Reminds me of that Rock Its Your Decision propaganda video. Got introduced to it through Cinema Snob. Hilarious review especially at the end when Jeff goes on that anti rock music rant at church and breaks a vinyl in half.

 

“Calling Captain And Tenille a sin is a sin against the word, sin.”

“You Belong To The City, like how Sodom and Gomorrah was a city?”

The bastard child of Satan and Tammy Faye Bakker.

"rock and roll is a commanist conspiracy to bring the white man down to the level of the nigra." Rev. Billy Joe Hargis

His pronunciation, not mine.

Spineless from the start, sucked into the part

Circus comes to town, you play the lead clown

Please, please

Spreading his disease, living by his story

Knees, knees

Falling to your knees, suffer for his glory

You will

 

 

Time for lust, time for lie

Time to kiss your life goodbye

Send me money, send me green

Heaven you will meet

Make a contribution

And you'll get a better seat

Bow to leper messiah

 

 

Marvel at his tricks, need your Sunday fix

Blind devotion came, rotting your brain

Chain, chain

Join the endless chain

Taken by his glamour

Fame, Fame

Infection is the game, stinking drunk with power

We see

I graduated in 1985. I remember the whole thing. Our church was just about like what went on in that short movie. Our youth pastor sent all of us home with badly Xeroxed sheets listing all of these horrible bands with an explanation of what was so wrong. AC/DC, Eagles, ELO, y'know, heavy metal bands like REO Speedwagon, Styx and the like.
