#1655: Jeff Godwin
Many fundies have warned us about the dangers of pop music. Its really a calling card for the lunatic fringe of maniacal fundamentalist. And, as Johnny Marr puts it, Jeff Godwin belongs to the lunatic fringe of the anti-rock movement indeed, Godwin doesnt hesitate to call out his fellow anti-rock activists as closet rock fans and devil worshippers and has for decades been Jack Chicks go-to-guy for information about rock music and popular culture Chick published Godwins first three books Devils Disciples: The Truth About Rock Music, Dancing With Demons: The Musics Real Master, Whats Wrong With Christian Rock? One thing that distinguishes these and his other books from those of other anti-rock writers like Jacob Aranza, is style. Godwins books are poorly written, unstructered and argumentatively incoherent hate screeds characterized by fuming rage and lunatic ravings, whereas Aranza could fool you for four or five seconds before you appreciate the howling insanity expressed by his otherwise grammatically well-formed sentences.
According to Godwin, rock and roll music (yeah, we know) traces its origins back thousands of years. Its rhythms were written by Satan and his demons and have, accordingly, a subliminal power to control a listeners mind. Those rhythms eventually found their way, via Africa, into blues, jazz and other forms of African American music and the rest of us received this Satanic curse through African American voodoo culture. Indeed, one of Godwins main ideas is the voodoo beat theory: The rock beat has the same time signature as the human heart (no, he hasnt listened to much rock music), and hence clearly hypnotizes and brainwashes listeners into accepting a message so evil that it could only be Satans.
Its not only the rhythms, though; rock music is loaded with references to sexual behavior of all kinds, and therefore encourages fornication amongst youths and inspires lust and rage, as well as preaching rebellion, hatred, drug abuse, it encourages mind decaying, death-dealing drugs, in slang terms only understood by teens, suicide, fornication and the dark things of Satan. Of course, it is not only promiscuous sex that is being promoted, but abnormal sex, as epitomized by that nexus of darkness David Bowie, the limp wristed king of the abnormal world of Homo Rock. All screamed rock vocals are in fact inspired by the sound of the homosexual penetration of the male, and whip crack drum beats are just a gateway to filthy and unhibited homosexual S&M. The hypothesis tells you not so much about rock, but might tell you things you might not want to know about William Godwin.
Of course, the actual messages have been backmasked (oh, yes), even though Satans presence has never required hiding. I believe that even now Satan and his demons are blaspheming and insulting God and the Lamb with their horrible rock record covers and backmasked broadcasts from Hell, says Godwin. As opposed to some backmask lunatics, Godwin doesnt think Satan has snuck into the messages without their knowledge, however; rock musicians, producers and promoters are outright Satanists who maintain secret but deliberate alliances with Satan and his demons (the Lord has also revealed to some Christians that incarnate demons from the netherworld actually are members of some of the most popular bands ...). How do they do the backmasking? Simple: Rock stars summon (literally) demons when theyre in studio to ensure hit records; the backmasked messages are merely the signatures of the supernatural presences. And once the demons have been brought into this world by the artists, playing a rock record is enough to call them up to possess the listener or anyone nearby. To say that addiction to rock n roll is a form of demonic possession, is to make an understatement. And were not only talking about rock here: all of popular music is Satanic, since NO ONE makes it big in secular music without selling out to Satan. We Are the World, for instance, with its message of Love is all we need is wrong and demonic because Jesus Christ is what this world needs!
Finally, Christian rock is a diversion created by Satan. The Christian content preached in Christian rock is feel-good, inoffensive religious messages and does accordingly not genuinely preach Christ, who according to Godwin is not this effeminate, mild and benevolent guy hes sometimes portrayed as being; that mild and merciful guy is apparently a creation of Satan and good grief this guy is insane. A particularly sinister example is Stryper, as evidenced e.g. by their To Hell With The Devil album, which Godwin predictably (no, seriously: you must have seen this one coming) takes to mean To Hell WITH the Devil, which happens to be the fate of all Stryper fans, so there.
Accordingly Godwin recommends that parents should burn anything relating to rock in their homes immediately and double their daily prayer time. Thats the only way you can secure your home and your family from the gangs of roving rock-and-roll-summoned demons now during the final days of the Earth.

(15,382 posts)A YouTube channel that I like called, "The Bible Reloaded," does a dramatic reading of a different Chick Tract every few weeks, often hilariously going off track with improvising. They did one of the more famous ones, "Angels?" which concerns how Satan runs the entire music industry.

(15,382 posts)From a street preacher who used to come to my university every Friday to yell at us. It was cheap entertainment during the afternoon when I didn't have any classes so I would watch - and often interact with - him. One Friday, music - ALL music except for some gospel, and it had to be the right kind - was evil. EVIL! And so was dancing. While he was screaming about this, I noticed a Latina friend of mine walking my way on her way to class, and I got a fun idea. I stopped her and asked her to show me a salsa move she had been teaching me so we began dancing in front of this guy who immediately went ballistic, rushed up to where we were, and started yelling at us... Actually at her since she was an attractive woman and not twice his size like I was. I was beginning to regret my prank until my friend started yelling back at him in both English and Spanish with a ton of vehemence, scaring the crap out of him and making him back away and actually put his hands up as if to say, "Whoa, I don't want no trouble here." Fortunately my friend found it funny.

(21,046 posts)The KLUE calls previously belonged to a Top 40 AM station in Longview, TX that transmitted on 1280 kHz. KLUE Longview was on the air from approximately 1965 until 1984.
KLUE Longview made history in 1966 when they organized one of the first Beatles bonfires in response to John Lennon's more popular than Jesus comment.
The KLUE bonfire was held on Saturday, August 13, 1966. The following day, the KLUE broadcast tower was struck by lightning, damaging much of their equipment and sending the news director to the hospital.

But what is the downside to rock 'n roll ?
