I don’t know, to me Lennon seems like he was more or less an honest guy, but a bit confused.Lennon/Beatles…well I can understand for them…no offense to any beatles fans
He and all the Beatles did have a rough childhood.

i don’t think there’s anything wrong with listening to rock music as long as you listen to godly music also…
some of the music is very good… The lyrics often are NOT but i don’t pay attention to them… When i sense that i am getting depresed because of the amoral message in some song or other i turn it off… and turn on spritiual music…
i don’t recommend this for just anyone, though… i have been following Jesus for a long time and feel that i am immune to worldly stuff like that to a certain extent…
i don’t watch TV because… i can’t even stand 2 minutes of that &**^%$# (msot of it)

this… is a joke… right?
sounds right out of a Jack Chick tract.
are many musicians bad examples of how to live? yup
are many musicians you name non Catholic yup
so… what.
absolutely we are responsible for what we listen to, and there are songs (and albums) i will not have in my house. there are also some singers i refuse to support because i feel they are not worth my support 9and money)
but Satanic?
get real
and “coin magic”? it sounds like you went to a conspiracy fest

some of it is satanic… i heard taht if you play Stairway to Heaven backward it says “The one who’s little path that makes you sad, whose power is Satan.”
and some other things…
but still… who plays “records” backwards? Of course you can’t do that anymore anyway…
still many rock groups were into Satanism…
i think its important to realize when listening to rock that the lyrics can affect your thinking even if you say it doesn’t… which is why i alwyas listen to godly music after i listen to a rock song… certain ones anyhow. I just like the music, not always the words.
listening to anything for long periods of time is not good… (unless it is godly music)…

The only way music can affect you in the way you describe is if you’re an emotionally unstable sack of sad.

When Jesus was tempted in the desert, He didn’t say, “You know what, Satan? I’m not going to do what you’re telling me to do, but if you just want to hang out with me for a while, I’m cool with that.” No. He ordered Satan to leave. He refused to tolerate His worst enemy
good point…
except that i listen to rock sometimes and i don’t equate it with listening to or tolerating Satan… Some rock is VERY good music… and not all the lyrics are bad. I listened to this song on the radio the other day about how the guy wasn’t looking for a love that lasts… but (implication being) he was going to keep having sex…
yea, if you listened to that all the time, that would be one thing… but i just turned on a godly song… and forgot about that trashy kind of lyrics…

You do know he was tempted three times before he did right?When Jesus was tempted in the desert, He didn’t say, “You know what, Satan? I’m not going to do what you’re telling me to do, but if you just want to hang out with me for a while, I’m cool with that.” No. He ordered Satan to leave. He refused to tolerate His worst enemy

What was it called? Oh yeah, getting fed up.
Honestly, if Jesus was so intolerant he would’ve told the Big Bad to beat it on the first encounter.Songs about sex just turn me off. They’re just pointless really. However, songs about anger, loneliness, and regret… stuff that reflects how much you hate the world and those who wronged you. Now those are some things I can relate to and can really help vent it out without breaking anything.

Nope, I’m just saying that Jesus wasn’t so intolerant of His enemy as implied.are you questioning Jesus??? his integrity???
Satan’s third temptation was pretty much crossing the line. It’s the same with me. If the music is bad, not just in lyrics but also in beat and melody, I’d turn it off.

Has anyone out there seen “They Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll” by Pastor Joe Schimmel? You can watch it on You Tube. He is Protestant but he did some good research. I know of a very orthodox Benedictine monastery that uses his stuff for their school. I see many people out there saying, “What’s wrong with the Beach Boys or the Beatles?” Well, one thing that ties together much of the rock world from John Lennon to Ozzy is a fascination with satanist Aleister Crowley. Even Elvis was a phony Christian and was a follower of Madam Labatsky, a fellow occultist like Crowley.

stop right there.
you can say “they had too much to do with the occult” you can say “this or that group espoused false beliefs” but dont you EVER have the nerve to call someone a “phony Christian” unless you can back that up.
i happen to know a lot about Elvis… he had serious drug problems. paranoia, and probably bi polar… but to his dying Day he said he was Christian.
we may or may not like him
we may or may not feel he was a “good” Christian
but phony?
troubled, hurt, sick, pathetic, wretched, sinful… i could apply those labels to many Christians (and non Christians) but they dont make a a phony.

Yeah I watched. It was nothing but pure overgeneralizing bogus and I stopped watching since all they could come up with were bad examples and vain attempts to lump all rock with them.

Dear Scott D,
That there is a strong and definite link between rock music and the occult is surely incontrovertible. What follows now is a selection of musicians whose life-styles or music reveal occultic influence of one kind or another:
AC/DC: A halllmark of their albums is the satanic ‘S’. Their album ‘Back in Black’ has a song entitled ‘Hell’s Bell’, including the words ‘Satan’s gonna get you’.
The Beach Boys: Dennis Wilson had connections with the notorious Manson family; Mike Love and Al Jardine were into Transcendental Meditation. Bob Larson clailms that “the fame of the Beach Boys was a launching pad for the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s introduction of TM and occultic mysticism into the mainstream of America” .
Blondie: Hailing the group as ‘America’s favoutite new wave rock band’, *Newsweek *reported that lead singer Debbie Harry’s act began with a wizard anointing a sacrophagus before Harry was realed from it to commence her first song.
The Eagles: The name comes from the chief spirit in the Indian cosmos, and the group was formed under the occultic influence of Carlos Castaneda. They confess to writing most of their songs whilst under the influence of the drug peyote. Moreover, several of their songs, such as ‘Withchy Woman’, ‘One of these Nights’ and ‘Good Day in Hell’, include satanic or occultic lyrics; one of their songs, ‘Undercover angel’, speaks of having copulation with evil spirits and one of their albums bears the goat’s head insignia (an occultic symbol).
Iron Maiden: The title track of their album ‘The number of the Beast’ is a song called, not suprisingly, ‘666’. Lead singer Bruce Dickinson admitted that during the recordeing of this album a succession of things went wrong, including an accident involving producer Martin Birch’s car which produced a repair bill for £666.56. Dickinson admitted, ‘Theat was just too close for comfort. He was absolutely terrified and the rest of us were very shaken’.
Queen: The lyrics of their ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ include the statement that Beelzebub has a devil set aside for them.
Stevie Wonder: His album ‘Song’s in the Key of Life’ was released to coincide with his astrological birth-sign Taurus. The album cover for ‘Inner Visions’ depicts the symbol of astral projection.
Yes: The groups album ‘Tales from Topographic Oceans’ contains songs said to reveal the science of God, tantric sexual rituals and reincarnation.
This catalouge is both sickening and very frightening - res ipsa loquitor (the facts speak for themselves). Moreover, there is no saying how many other bands, singers and musicians may be involved in the occult and whose music may be impregnated with the poison. For people to blithely say that the issue is limited to an occasional rock singer dabbling with the occult is dangerously naive. For Catholics to arise and vehemently defend such wickedness and evil is nothing short of shameful and embarrassing.
Warmest good wishes,

I’m gonna jump in and say that I’m pretty sure Aleister Crowley wasn’t a satanist. Could be wrong.
And just because Satan is mentioned in a song doesn’t necessarily make it satanist…
“Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me”? That sounds more like the singer is acknowledging his sins and is afraid of what will happen to his soul. And aside from the meditation thing (which isn’t much of a “he’s evil!” call) that list has nothing on the Beach Boys. Who cares if he had connections with the Manson family? Obviously nobody knew about the family’s intentions or else the murders would have never taken place. If one of your friends went out and murdered some people tomorrow, would that make you a satanist?
