Singing For Satan: Special Edition

 

From August 2017 to August 2019, I ran a series of posts exposing the evil in rock, pop, and rap music, and I called the series of posts "Singing For Satan." Although that "first Monday of the month" series ended almost six years ago, I reserved the right to bring up another post on the topic if I thought any artist(s) not previously covered needed to be exposed or if new developments with those I had covered took place. I feel the necessity to present the facts on Eminem's latest album, Stevie Nicks' new song, Billy Joel, and the music/musicians involved at the funeral and in the life of former President Jimmy Carter. I combined original research about these developments with that from the past.  I will reproduce the brief overview that accompanied the Singing For Satan series before exposing the artists.  God bless you all, my dear readers---Introibo

The Introduction to the original series of posts:

This week I continue my series of posts regarding an informal study I undertook in the early 1990s regarding rock and pop music. The purpose of my study (and the background to it) can be read in the first installment of August 7, 2017. If you have not read that post, I strongly encourage you to do so before reading this installment. I will only repeat here the seven (7) evil elements that pervade today's music:

1. Violence/Murder/Suicide
2. Nihilism/Despair
3. Drug and alcohol glorification
4. Adultery/ Fornication and sexual perversion
5. The occult
6. Rebellion against lawful superiors
7. Blasphemy against God, Jesus Christ in particular, and the Church

 The exposing of the bands/artists continues.

WARNING!! This post contains material that is extremely graphic, and may be found very disturbing. Reader discretion is advised.

Eminem: Is "Slim Shady" Really Dead?
Eminem (b. Marshall Mathers III in 1972) came from a humble start. Eminem became the best selling artist of 2000-2010, having sold an incredible 47.4 million albums in the United States alone, and he is listed as #83 in Rolling Stone magazine's "100 Greatest Artists of All Time." He was born to a dysfunctional family. His father left home when he was young, and his mother Debbie (who recently died, and whom Eminem despises), raised him. Eminem spent most of his youth growing up in a very poor, predominantly African-American community in Detroit, referred to by some as "8 Mile" because of 8 Mile Road that separates the poor from the rich. 8 Mile would become the title of his box office smash movie in 2002, basically telling his story. He derives his stage name from his initials, "M and M."

I took an interest in Eminem when he started and followed his career. He is one of the most vile, obscene, anti-Christ artists in the world. He embodies all seven of the evil elements in today's music. He is friends---and collaborated with---open Satan worshipper Marilyn Manson. On July 12, 2024, Mathers released his 12th studio album entitled The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace). 

For those who don't know, Eminem's burst into fame came after he created an "alter-ego" he named "Slim Shady." In Spin magazine's cover story ("The Devil and Mr. Mathers..."), the rapper admits that he encountered an "entity" in his bathroom mirror which identified itself as Slim Shady. When Slim Shady started writing his lyrics, he became a superstar. In his song My Darling, he raps about his encounter:

And the dark shall emerge from the fiery depths of hell
Then swallow the shell, all the hollow who dwell
In the shadows of all who are willing to sell their souls
For this rap game and it g-g-goes
One-two-three, chk-chk, one-two-three
Chk-chk, one-two-three, that ain't the hook, now follow me
There's nothing else for me to say, my public adores me
Everybody bores me, they're just so corny
So at night before I sleep, I look in the mirror
The mirror grows lips and it whispers: "Come nearer!"...

He then tells of the price he had to pay. Slim Shady speaks to him as follows:

You remember that night you, prayed to god (sic)
You'd give anything to get a record deal, well Dre signed you
This is what you wanted your whole life Marshall, right through
Look at this house, look at these cars, I'm so nice, wooo!
Oh, but you didn't know, fame has a price too

Just a publicity stunt? According to Marcia Dawkins' biography, Eminem: The Real Slim ShadySome scholars believe that Eminem uses his music to dramatize a deep and intense spiritual battle. He admits as much in "Must Be The Ganja" (2009) where he confesses he can identify with both the Dalai Lama (good) and Jeffery Dahmer (evil). As he seeks deeper spiritual commitment, Marshall Mathers, the redeemed or spiritual Everyman wrestles against the sinful Slim Shady persona. In Rap and Religion: Understanding the Gangsta's God, Ebony A. Utley suggests that the Slim Shady persona is downright demonic. Utley writes that, 'In the introduction to the Slim Shady EP, a foreboding voice not unlike the one attributed to the Devil in 'My Darling' taunts Eminem even though he repeatedly states, 'I thought I killed you,' 'What do you want from me?' and 'Leave me alone." (pg. 81; Emphasis mine). The Dalai Lama is evil, leading souls to Hell, and so is Dahmer for obvious reasons. There is no one Eminem identifies with who is truly good. Dawkins writes, "In fact, as Slim Shady, Eminem is known for being at odds with everything sacred and being passionate about anything profane." (pg. 79).

While Spin magazine reported that he first met the spirit of Slim Shady when he was in the bathroom, in his song, Low, Down, Dirty, he sings about "Hearing voices in my head while these whispers echo, 'Murder Murder Redrum" (redrum is murder backwards and made famous in the movie The Shining, where actor Jack Nicholson portrays a writer whom is driven insane by demonic forces).

Now, the rumors are flying that Eminem has killed off his alter ego, and will end his career. Such is not the case. While the album is a "battle" between the rapper and Slim Shady, the lyrics are evil and vile, showing Slim Shady will remain very much alive. Turning 53 this year, Mathers will not be ending his drive for more money and fame.

The following is taken directly from The Death of Slim Shady album.  WARNING! The lyrics of this artist are extremely vile and disturbing. I've censored them as much as possible.

In the song "Lucifer," Eminem tells his mother she really gave birth to Lucifer (Satan) and that the rapper's followers are a "Satanic cult" and then compares himself to infamous killer Charles Manson:

Haters can meet the same exact fate as my dad, wait
'Least he didn't miss me graduate (okay, yeah, great)
But, Mom, do I still act eight?
Uh, maybe a little, Debbie (what?) Like a snack cake (slut)
But if this is what he do to his mom
Imagine what he'd do to you, I'm a lunatic armed
And if it's you I use the clip on, for you to respond
Is ludicrous, ma, look at what your uterus spawned, Lucifer...

Now my followers are like a Satanic cult (what?)
Yeah, they listen to me like when Manson spoke (shh)
They say I don't know struggle no more, that's a joke (haha)
Bitch, the fu****' elevator in my mansion's broke (see?)
I have to walk like half a block to get a can of Coke (Emphasis mine).

In the song "Antichrist," Slim Shady is the one speaking and proclaims Marshall (Mathers) the Antichrist:

Marshall, he's the antichrist
He will slice and dice
Sluts, whores, men, women, and children (one more time, what's my name?)
His name is Marshall, he's the antichrist
He will slice and dice
Skanks, sluts, whores, men, women, and children
You wanna dance with the devil, dance with the devil, dance with the devil?
You wanna dance with the devil, dance with the devil, dance with the devil?
You wanna-
(I ain't goin' nowhere)
It's about to get scary
Bizarre (I'm still here, ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay) (Emphasis mine).

In the song "Guilty Conscience 2," it makes it seem that Mathers has returned to his "old self" and killed off Slim Shady, but the outro to the song says Mathers hasn't changed, he was just dreaming:

Oh, woah, what the f**k?
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Yeah?
Paul
You're not gonna f***ing believe this, bro
I had this dream, it was f***ing crazy
It was like, the old me came back on the new me
And took over my brain and had me sayin' all this f***ed-up shit
About little people and Caitlyn Jenner and
PC police were chasin' me
And fucking Gen Z was tryna kill me
And quadriplegics, and Christopher Reeves
And I was saying all this fucked-up shit
And I couldn't stop sayin' it
And then I wake up and it was like I was still dreamin'
F**k you
Wait
Hahaha (Emphasis mine)

Stevie Nicks: Anthem from a Baby-Killing Witch
Stevie Nicks was born Stephanie Lynn Nicks in 1948. She was unable to pronounce her first name as a small child, saying "tee-dee," resulting in her childhood nickname of "Stevie" which she adopted as her stage name. Nicks enjoys dressing in long, flowing witches gowns, usually with a hood. She inserts Wiccan imagery and incantations into the albums of both Fleetwood Mac and her solo endeavors. Her "soft rock" image serves as a cover for the sinister messages she brings through her music.

Nicks believes she is the reincarnation of a Welsh witch named " Rhiannon," and her music is published under the name "Welsh Witch Publishing Co." Although Nicks now denies ever having involvement in witchcraft, her past interviews and song origins/lyrics give the lie to that contention. According to a feature story about Nicks in  The Ringer, Nicks wrote the song [Rhiannon] after stumbling upon Mary Leader’s Triad: A Novel of the Supernatural in an airport bookstore. At the time she just liked the way the name "Rhiannon" sounded, but later she’d grow to feel a kinship with the Celtic deity’s origin story. Ever since, she’s taken to using the word as an adjective: To this day, if someone or something has good vibes, Stevie Nicks considers it "very Rhiannon."
 (See https://www.theringer.com/music/2017/11/21/16683772/stevie-nicks-book-career-fleetwood-mac).

 Even in her attempt to distance herself from Wicca, we see the name Rhiannon is of a pagan Celtic "goddess" obtained from reading a book on the supernatural; not a very reassuring denial. She claims to have been able to write the song in a mere ten minutes after reading the book (which deals with demon possession).  While touring, Stevie would sometimes open this song by informing the audience the tune is about "an old Welsh witch." Here are the lyrics:

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night/And wouldn't you love to love her?/Takes to the sky like a bird in flight/And who will be her lover?/All your life you've never seen a woman taken by the wind/Would you stay if she promised to you heaven?/Will you ever win?/She is like a cat in the dark/And then she is the darkness/She rules her life like a fine skylark/And when the sky is starless/All your life you've never seen a woman taken by the wind/Would you stay if she promised to you heaven?/Will you ever win?/Will you ever win?/Rhiannon/Rhiannon/Rhiannon/Rhiannon (Emphasis mine). In live concert, the following lyric was added: "Once in a million years, a lady like her rises. 'Rhiannon' you cry but she's gone, and your life knows no answer, and your life knows no answer."

Nicks claims that the hit song Sara was written in memory of one of her four aborted children she conceived with different men. This particular child was conceived with Don Henley, the occult practicing drug addict from the band The Eagles. (See www.lifesitenews.com/news/stevie-nicks-confirms-she-wrote-hit-song-about-baby-she-aborted-with-don-he). 

Nicks said she would have named the child Sara if she had chosen not to murder the baby and it was a girl. Henley was going to build a house for them when he found out she was pregnant, but Nicks thought her career was more important, which is why she murdered all four of her unborn babies. She murdered one child fathered by Henley, one by then-boyfriend Buckingham, one by rock star Joe Walsh, and another by whoever she was sleeping around with at the time. The pertinent part of Sara:

Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change, never stop
And now it's gone
They say it doesn't matter what for
When you build your house, call me…

All I ever wanted was to know
That you were dreaming
There's a heartbeat
No, it never really died

You never really died 

Yes, your unborn baby really died, and you murdered her. Yet Nicks assures us,"...  It's much more fun to be the crazy auntie [of a child] than it is to be the mom, anyway." (See http://www.theage.com.au/news/music/a-magical-life/2006/02/09/1139465789637.html?page=fullpage).

Now, in 2024, Nicks has released an ode to abortion in the aftermath of the wonderful U.S. Supreme Court case Dobbs v. Jackson (2022) which overturned Roe v. Wade (1973) that had declared a "right to abortion" was protected by the U.S. Constitution. Whether or not to allow abortion (and to what extent) is up to each individual state. 

In the song "The Lighthouse," the witch who killed four of her own children, tells women to fight for the right to kill their babies, and "be afraid" if they can't murder them. 

"Don’t close your eyes and hope for the best / The dark is out there / The light is going fast / Until the final hours," she sings. "Your life’s changed forever / And all the rights that you had yesterday / Are taken away / And now you’re afraid / You should be afraid.”...

“I find it very sad, at 76 years old, I had to see Roe v. Wade taken away," Nicks tells PEOPLE exclusively in an email interview. "Two years ago, when I realized the consequences of women’s rights that are vanishing, I watched a lot of news, and I was like a sponge — it just went into me.”

Following the news, the Grammy winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee channeled that sadness into song.

“One morning I woke up… which, I never write when I wake up in the morning, and all of a sudden went, ‘I have my scars, I have my scars,’ so I just grabbed my notebook, and I started writing the whole thing," she says. "It was a long-form poem, and I didn't know what kind of song that would be. I found an instrumental that I loved and within two or three days, I had recorded the song. I never redid the vocal — it's an original vocal — and it's taken me two years.”...

The topic of women's reproductive rights is a personal one for Nicks, who in 2020 revealed to The Guardian that she "would have had to walk away" from Fleetwood Mac if she didn't get an abortion in 1979. Without the procedure, "I’m pretty sure there would have been no Fleetwood Mac," she added at the time.

Now, she tells PEOPLE, “All the stories that we tell about the necessity for women's healthcare and the necessity for a safe and legal abortion option for women is absolutely necessary."
(See https://people.com/stevie-nicks-discusses-new-song-the-lighthouse-abortion-access-exclusive-8719365). 

Ultimately, what Nicks is saying is that in order for women to be powerful and in charge of their lives they need the ability to kill their own preborn children. The notion of women needing to have abortions to be successful is not only wrong, but grossly misogynistic and pure evil. It's an idea that Nicks has frequently promoted; and why wouldn't she do so? Wiccans are advocates for abortion

The wicked song proclaims that murdering children is like "The Light" and saving them is darkness. Immediately Isaiah 5:20 came to mind, "Woe to you that call evil good, and good evil: that put darkness for light, and light for darkness: that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter."(Emphasis mine). 

Nicks is going on tour with another avowed enemy of Christianity, Billy Joel.

Billy Joel: Only The Evil Die Eternally
William Martin (Billy) Joel (b. 1949) is a Jew born in New York City and raised on Long Island. He began playing the piano at a young age, and was discovered in 1972 when his song "Captain Jack" got noticed. The song is based on a drug dealer who sold heroin near where Joel grew up. It was also the first song on the radio to specifically use the word masturbate:

Saturday night and you're still hangin' around
You're tired of livin' in your one horse town
You'd like to find a little hole in the ground for a while

So you go to the village in your tie-dye jeans
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens
It's like some pornographic magazine, and you smile

But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'
Oh yeah, yeah

Your sister's gone out, she's on a date
And you just sit at home and masturbate
Your phone is gonna ring soon,
But you just can't wait, for that call

Joel produced 12 studio albums and is still touring. He has sold over 160 million records. Joel was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1992, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999, and the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in 2006. His net worth is estimated at approximately $250 million dollars. Although his parents are Jewish, he was not raised in the religion. He would attend true Masses pre-Vatican II with his friends, and was baptized unbeknownst to his parents in a Protestant church when he was 11 years old. Yet, he claims it was peer pressure and is a self-proclaimed atheist.

His 1977 song "Only The Good Die Young" is about a Jewish boy trying to convince a devout Catholic girl to fornicate with him. 

Come out, Virginia, don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
Aw, but sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well will be the one
Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
Aw, but they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done
Well, only the good die young
That's what I said
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
You mighta heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty, we ain't too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud
Aw, but that never hurt no one
So come on, Virginia, show me a sign
Send up a signal, I'll throw you the line
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
Never let's in the sun
Darlin', only the good die young
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
I tell ya only the good die young
Only the good die young
You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
You got a brand new soul
Mmm, and a cross of gold
But, Virginia, they didn't give you quite enough information
You didn't count on me
When you were counting on your rosary
Oh-whoa-whoa
And they say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better, but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
The sinners are much more fun
You know that only the good die young, oh, baby
I tell ya only the good die young
Only the good die young
Said your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation
Aw, she never cared for me
But did she ever say a prayer for me?
Oh-whoa-whoa
Come out, come out, come out, Virginia, don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
Sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well will be the one
You know that only the good die young
Tell you, baby
You know that only the good die young
Only the good die young
Only the good
Only the good die young
Ooh-ooh, ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo
Ooh-ooh, ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo
Ooh-ooh, ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo
Only the good die young
Only the good die young  (Emphasis mine)

Interestingly, as Joel was nearing the peek of his fame at this point, he wanted to buy a mansion on Long Island to show off to the people who said he would never make it when he began his career in music. He had his eye on a beautiful place in the posh area of Oyster Bay Cove. The home was going cheaper than most as a murder had occurred there. Joel waited a day too long to make his move and it was sold to Archbishop Lefebvre, who consecrated it as a Church. In 1983, it became (and remains) the signature Church of the Society of St. Pius V (SSPV) when they broke from Abp. Lefebvre.

Billy Joel has this to say about going to Mass as a child:
I viewed the whole business as a lot of very enthralling hocus-pocus. There's a guy hanging upon the wall in the church, nailed to a cross and dripping blood, and everybody's blaming themselves for that man's torment, but I said to myself, 'Forget it. I had no hand in that evil. I have no original sin. There's no blood of any sacred martyr on my hands. I pass on all of this.'

He says of his atheism that it is like a father-child relationship (in a perverse way):
You decide first of all that will not ask Daddy – meaning God in all of his imagined forms – for a helping hand when you're in a jam. Then you have to try and make some sort of sense out of your problems. And if you try and find you can't, you have no choice but to be good and scared – but that's okay!
(See https://hollowverse.com/billy-joel#http%3A%2F%2Fwww.celebatheists.com%2Fwiki%2FBilly_Joel). 

His nastiness is legendary. I worked with a woman who was out on Long Island and saw Joel reading a newspaper on a bench. Excitedly and nervously, she approached him to ask for his autograph. Without looking up, he replied, "F*** off." 

He has struggled with depression. According to one source:  According to Joel, he often felt like life was meaningless and that there was no point in living. (See https://westwindrecovery.com/recovery-blog/celebrities-with-mental-health-issues/#1698780174435-620c897d-3d44). 

Jimmy Carter and "Good Christian Music"
Former U.S. President James Earl ("Jimmy") Carter died on December 29, 2024 at the age of 100. He lived longer than any other president in American history. Carter is often lauded as a "devout Christian," yet supported abortion on demand. At his funeral, Garth Brooks, a country singer, played the detestable John Lennon song "Imagine," an atheist anthem. 

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one (Emphasis mine).

While claiming to believe in nothing but himself, Lennon and The Beatles promoted pagan religion and a Satanist, Aleister Crowley. The man who wanted us to "imagine no possessions" was a multi-millionaire. He was anti-war and denounced the United States for acts of violence while beating his wife Cynthia, emotionally abusing his son Julian, and on at least one occasion was filmed making fun of the physically-challenged. He was a raging drug addict and advocated drug use. Why would "devout Christian" Carter want THAT song by THAT man at his funeral? Like Lennon, Carter was more focused on the things of this world than the next. Building houses was more important than seeking your heavenly home.

Brooks (b. 1962) likes to "thank Jesus" frequently, claims to be Christian, yet espouses no denomination and has no regular church attendance. Nominally Republican, he was a supporter of baby killer, pro-sodomite, Communist Barak Obama. He also sang an overtly atheist anthem for Carter's funeral. Brooks admitted to cheating on his first wife, Sandy Mahl, in 1989. Last year, an anonymous hairstylist is suing Brooks for sexual assault. 

Finally, Jimmy Carter holds the infamous distinction of being the only president to pardon a convicted child molester. On January 19, 1981, one day before his term ended and Ronald Reagan became president, Carter pardoned Peter Yarrow of the folk group Peter, Paul, and Mary. Yarrow died on January 7 of this year at the age of 86. Only Paul Stookey remains alive. Mary Travers died in 2009.

Yarrow was the ultimate liberal, secular Jew, having been born here in Manhattan and being the quintessential anti-American hippie. In 1970, Yarrow (then 34 years old) was visited at his hotel room by a 17 year old girl and her14 year old sister; they were hoping to see him and get an autograph. He asked the 17 year old to wait in the living room while he took 14 year old Barbara Winter into the bedroom and made her masturbate him. He was arrested, and at trial, claimed the little girl was a "willing participant." The judge found Yarrow guilty and sentenced him to a mere three months in jail. 

For reasons unknown, Carter gave the folk singer an Executive Pardon. Yarrow then admitted to the crime and confessed that Winter had not been a "willing participant." In 2021, another allegation came forth. According to the Washington Post:
Then, 40 years after Carter’s pardon, another woman stepped forward with an accusation of her own. In a lawsuit filed in New York on Feb. 24, 2021, she alleged that Yarrow lured her to a Manhattan hotel when she was a minor in 1969 and raped her.

Through an attorney, Yarrow, who turns 83 this month, declined to respond to questions about how he acquired his pardon or the new allegation against him. The lawsuit, which sought unspecified damages, also named the band Peter, Paul and Mary as co-defendants, alleging that Travers and Stookey “knew that Yarrow liked to have sexual intercourse with and perform other sex acts on minor children.”

Travers died in 2009. “This is all a surprise to me,” Stookey told The Post. “It’s not in his character. If anything he’s over solicitous in making people comfortable.”

Court records indicate the woman reached a settlement with Yarrow and the band in April. She and her attorneys did not respond to multiple requests for comment. (See https://web.archive.org/web/20210517122113/https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2021/05/17/peter-yarrow-carter-pardon-assault/).

As if all this isn't sick enough, Barbara Winters said that after she masturbated Yarrow (not knowing what she was doing and afraid) he told her, “not to tell anybody except for, because I was a Catholic, I could tell the priest in confession.” He knew enough that a Catholic priest can never break the seal of Confession. 

The only reason Yarrow could be sued after so many years was because the New York State Legislature allowed any sexual assault lawsuit regarding a minor to be initiated, regardless of how long ago in the past, in response to the raping of children by the Vatican II sect's clergy. 

I had the dubious distinction of meeting Yarrow in person 25 years ago when he was starting "Operation Respect," a program which was aimed primarily at school bullying, but was also at first a general anti-bullying message. One of the partners at my firm wanted me to take the day off to go and see Yarrow's presentation at a nearby hotel to see if HR could use any of his "cultural sensitivity" material. His presentation was attended by about 100 people. We sang anti-bullying songs, he told stories about the bad effects of bullying, and gave out some literature on how to be inclusive.

Peter, Paul, and Mary had a famous song, "Puff, The Magic Dragon." "Magic dragon" was 1960s slang for marijuana. The song tells it like a children's story. It even became a children's cartoon. Yarrow always swore the song was not about drugs despite all the dope-laden references. As the time to end approached, Yarrow asked, "Before we leave, does anyone have any questions for me?" I had to go for it. I raised my hand.  Yarrow pointed to me (the only one with a raised hand) and smiled. "yes, the young man in the blue suit!" I asked, "Mr. Yarrow, with all the drug references throughout 'Puff, the Magic Dragon' isn't it really about marijuana?" He turned red with rage and screamed "NO!!!" at the top of his lungs and ran out. The audience was in stunned silence. So much for anti-bullying and being respectful. 

Conclusion
This concludes my update on the sorry condition of most modern musicians and the evil messages they convey. Let this post serve as a warning to be careful of the music which you listen to and allow in your home. If you think you are immune from its influence, think again. Medical doctor and brain specialist, Richard Pellegrino, who is a consultant to the entertainment industry, wrote an article for Billboard Magazine, about the power of music. Dr. Pellegrino stated: Take it from a brain guy. In 25 years of working with the brain, I still cannot affect a person’s state of mind the way that one simple song can.

Then think of what the demonic Eminem stated in his song "Marshall Mathers:" I think I was put here to…destroy your little 4-year-old boy or girl.

  1. Thanks for this post! Pop music is really dumb, even when it's not artists/bands with demonic or occult lyrics. Sometimes there are decent artists but the ones you expose are really evil.

    Billy Joel felt that life had no meaning. That's normal, he's an atheist ! For atheists, the universe and its complex laws are the product of chance and blind forces, not created by God. Faced with suffering and death, they have no explanation (like Bergoglio). For atheists, life only has meaning if you can enjoy it, and when you get old and sick, there's euthanasia to end it all. The Book of Wisdom, chapter 2, describes them well.

      Absolutely. I can't imagine not being depressed as an atheist! "The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God, They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: there is none that doth good, no not one." (Psalm 14:1)

      Thank you for the kind words. I'm afraid many may listen to these evil musicians calling themselves Traditionalist. Hopefully, this will open their eyes.

  3. Didn’t know about this series, and read the first two before this one. Some things I knew from before, but not in such detail.

    I did quite a bit of ‘head-canoning’ of lyrics back in the day (which is less of a mental gymnastic exercise than believing a pope can also be a heretic but I digress) before I stopped listening to the radio in 2003, except mainly for classical. Someone in a comment on the first article mentioned electronica and lyric-less material; mine is an acquired taste but 8-bit chiptunes from somewhere which you can figure out without any further clues is my preferred background when deep-diving Apocalypse. Sometime soon I have to get back to revamping the re-creation of what I came up with from ‘05-‘11 but I’m hindered these days. Anyhow, thanks for your work! +JMJ+

    4. Do you live in Brownsville Brooklyn, Jamaica Queens, East New York, or The South Bronx? My educated guess would be none of those places in NYC because you have discriminated based on demographics and the inferior quality of life in those places. It’s fine to admit it.

      Yes, I had an apartment in Jamaica, Queens from 1988-1992. Never had an incident, although it is not a good place. I could say the same about Howard Beach, Queens where my friend was beaten by friends of the Gotti family for the crime of being Irish-American. Nice guy, that John Gotti. Kept his neighborhood nice overall, and exported the drugs, prostitution and killings to other neighborhoods.

      Let me be clear. I had a feeling the question about apartheid was insincere. It appeared on last week's post as well. I don't mind honest theological questions off topic like the nice person below who asked about the status of Quo Primum.

      After I answered the apartheid query, I received several comments (probably all from you) ranting about "inferior cultures," "jews" (of course), and how allegedly benighted I am.

      This blog is a place for Traditionalist Catholics to read about the True Faith, learn about the Great Apostasy, and be warned against modern evils. People can comment here respectfully about the topic of the post, or ask off topic theological queries. There are now also two awesome guest posters, Dominic and John, who further add to the quality here presented.

      I will not publish off topic rants by Hitler Fanboys, White Supremacists, Feeneyites (except when the post specifically addresses the issue), or others pushing specific agendas.

      You don't know me. You don't know where I live, lived, or what I've been through in my life. Your supposition about where I lived shows as much. If you want to inform people about the true state of the world and set the record straight--please take it elsewhere or start your own blog.

  8. Wow, great article Introibo! Very well done! I loved the ending part where you asked Yarrow a question. Lol!

    I have known many people throughout the years who have loved listening to Eminem. The guy is pure trash. There is a lot of evil in the entertainment business and the demons reign supreme in this arena.

    I have worked with all different generations and I have seen the effects of The Great Apostasy and how it has affected everyone. There are various generational differences. Each generation has gotten worse.

    The Greatest Generation and the Silent Generation (for the most part) valued tradition and family values. From The Great Depression to wars to other hardships, they lived through a lot of turmoil and strife and had to make great sacrifices for their families.

    The Baby Boomers are a bit of a mixed generation. There are traditional values among many of them; however among others, the decline was already noticeable with the way the culture went in subsequent decades.

    Gen X saw a massive decline in morality as movies, TV shows, and especially music started to really take a strong hold on western civilization, warping so many people in this generation.

    Millennials saw even more of a decline. The culture became saturated with more and more trash.

    Gen Z is so lost, it’s ridiculous.

    There are of course exceptions of good, moral people in each generation but the decline in the culture is inescapable. Even among Millennials vs. Gen Z, there are defining differences where these two generations cannot even relate to each other at times.

    What is commonplace in more recent generations would be abhorred in their parents or grandparents generation before them. Aborting babies? “Marrying” someone of your own sex? Divorce so rampant? Euthanasia? Birth control available everywhere one turns? Gen Z kids not knowing what sex they are (on top of tattoos and piercings on their bodies everywhere)? This would have horrified older generations to no end. The great quote by St. Anthony the Great applies more to today than any other time in history: “A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, ‘You are mad; you are not like us.’”

    But if you put a frog in water and slowly turn up the temperature, the frog will happily boil to death. The demons are smart and they attack humans slowly and methodically. The temperature must slowly and ever so slightly be turned up where people do not notice it, as they go about their busy daily lives. Unbeknownst to them, they are eventually on hell’s doorstep.

    May Jesus, Mary, & Joseph give us the strength we need to endure in these godless and trying times.

  9. Good tract Introibo. Sorry, I have a non-related question.

    In Quo Primum can it be argued that St. PV canonised the traditional Mass?

    I have seen a video of Fr. Depauw which, though my memory of its particulars are vague, gave me the impression that this apostolic constitution sageguarded the rubrics of the traditional Mass and made it binding, for all time, and protected against dereliction, change or substition (notwithstanding updates e.g. addition of saints, etc.)

    Given that all valid successors of Peter are equals, and one cannot not therefore bind another, I have heard it said that this document's unequivocal safeguard of the Mass can therefore only apply if, by this act, he canonised the Mass itself.

    Can you give some insight? Obviously this has nothing to do with Montini's 'Missal' as, having never advanced beyond Archbishop, he was therefore wholly bound by Quo Primum.

    ReplyDelete

    1. @anon12:41
      Always happy to answer a theological question!

      There really is no such thing as "canonizing" a Mass. From the point of view of sedevacantism, the changes were made by a non-pope so the Traditional Mass as it was celebrated in 1958 remains in full force and effect.

      You are correct that popes cannot bind other popes in matters of discipline.

      Fr. DePauw, used the verbiage of Quo Primum as a way for scared Catholics (who knew that the Novus Bogus was somehow wrong) to hold onto Tradition, feeling "oh, the pope said this is always binding!" It was, but not for those exact reasons. He was doing all he could to keep as many Catholics away from the Vatican II sect as he could in the early days of the Great Apostasy.

      I believe that there WOULD HAVE BEEN a real change in the Mass to make it more anti-Modernist in directly attacking errors through certain prayers and ceremonies in the Mass. Had Cardinal Ottaviani emerged as Pope Pius XIII, that's what I think would have happened.

      De facto, we must hold onto the Traditional Mass as it was under the last true pope, Pope Pius XII, when he died in 1958.

      Would you PLEASE consider publishing a transcript of Fr. Depauw's 'Concilior or Catholic' (one of the more hard-hitting versions), adding your own thoughts and assessments of how things have played out over the years in your red text.

      And also, perhaps reconsider sharing more information regarding Luciano's offer of red hat to Fr. Depauw and all that orbits around that (suppression of VII, murder by Freemasons, etc.).

      I know you are bound to confidentiality, however, now that Fr. Is likely in heaven, perhaps now these things should be brought into the light. Perhaps the B.V.M., Virgin Most Prudent and Mother of Good counsel could direct you.

    5. John,
      Since popes cannot bind each other in such a manner, I wouldn't expect to find any source. If Quo Primum did do something that unique (and unheard of) the approved canonists would have certainly taught that and explained it. The fact is that anytime Quo Primum is mentioned in a theological work by a canonist, it is merely said that it promulgated the Order of Mass after Trent--and nothing more. In this case "the absence of evidence [that it "canonized" the Mass], is evidence of absence [it never happened]"

    7. John,
      Pope St. Pius V was making the Order of Mass standardized after Trent. The verbiage he employed was what we call "boilerplate language" in civil law (i.e., language that is always used to make a point or let something be known).

      In ecclesiastical matters, such language is used for serious and important matters, however the language was not unique and was used at other times. For example, the phrase "...whereas, by this present Constitution, which will be valid henceforth, now, and forever, We order and enjoin that nothing must be added to Our recently published Missal, nothing omitted from it, nor anything whatsoever be changed within it under the penalty of Our displeasure" --means "now and forever UNLESS AND UNTIL We or Our lawful successor in the papacy changes it."

      God Bless,

    8. Thank you Intriobo. So he did indeed standardize it. This is from a weak and dying memory but am I correct that since that time, that apart from adding or moving feasts and changing the ranks of feasts no pope, for 400 years, saw it to be fitting to "mess" with the actual Mass itself until Pius XII?

      Don't get me wrong. I acknowledge that going with the discipline in effect at the death of the last pope appears to be the best thing to do on the surface.

  10. I stopped listening to rock a long time ago. It began to turn me off just because it seemed to exemplify a "bastardized" cultural product, what with the sordid lyrics and dissonant sounds.

    Lately I came across some songs by Rush, a band from the 70s and 80s that gained a devoted fan base due in part to their "clean" approach to their music and personal lifestyles.
    I can listen to them without cringing; their talent is unquestionable. They gained a reputation as intellectuals because of their highbrow lyrics.
    The thing is that two of their (3) band members have admitted in interviews they are either agnostic or atheist.
    Some of their lyrics reflect these ideas although they do not mock religion.
    They do allow occult style art on their album covers, and I see that as a problem so I can't approve of them entirely. Yet I do like them.
    What do you think, Intro, of that type of band/artist?

    Thanks and God bless.

      You have "done your homework" on Rush! Except ALL THREE deny God. Neil Peart (d. 2020) was an agnostic who admired the works of atheist Ayn Rand. He was the main lyricist of the band and had disdain for religion.

      The song "Witch Hunt" denigrates "religious zealotry."
      The song "Faithless summarizes his position well:
      "I've got my own moral compass to steer by
      A guiding star beats a spirit in the sky
      And all the preaching voices
      Empty vessels of dreams so loud...

      I don't have faith in faith
      I don't believe in belief
      You can call me faithless
      You can call me faithless
      And I still cling to hope
      And I believe in love
      And that's faith enough for me
      And that's faith enough for me"

      Geddy Lee is a self-described Jewish atheist. "I'm not down with religion at all," is a direct quote.

      Alex Lifeson said the following when asked, "Do you believe in God."

      "No. When I was younger I did. My mother is not super-religious but she has a belief. My father was the total opposite. He thought religion was a crock. In my early teens I started to question it all. I had friends who were Jesus freaks, others were just very spiritual, and we had these great long discussions about these things. But as I get older it just becomes a less and less sensible thing to think about.”

      They do incorporate some mythological/occult symbolism on their album covers.

      An intelligent person like yourself can examine the lyrics and listen to those songs devoid of anti-religious sentiment.

      Now that you know all the facts you can choose. Discernment is key!

  11. Oh I am glad for the information you have added to mine on Rush, Intro. Thanks!
    You are right that discernment is key.

    Yes, I had heard Geddy Lee's (Gary Lee Weinrib) comments to interviewers about his Jewish atheism, to which
    he added: "if there can be such a thing". (Well of course there can! Those are my words. LOL!)
    Neil Peart was an amazing drummer and lyricist, considered by many to be the best rock drummer of all time, but the poor man, kind and intelligent as he was said to be, likely died as a non believer. As for Alex Lifeson, that was not his real name; he was Serbian and translated the meaning of his last name to 'Son of Life' in English - Lifeson - which he legally changed.
    I hadn't heard that Alex repudiated belief in God. Sad. The band members
    (I refer especially to Lifeson and John Rutsey who later had to quit the band and was replaced by Peart) met each other as students at St Peter's CATHOLIC school in Toronto.
    How could that apostasy among these Catholic educated boys happen?
    IMO...Two words. Novus Ordo.
    I hope for their conversion.

It's a bit like how you might listen to a speech from a leftist (e.g MLK or Kennedy) just to appreciate the rhetoric and the style

    When I was younger I didn't care about the lyrics much, only if it sounded good but as I get older I find myself paying more attention to the lyrics. These days I'm listening to a mixture of classical and European power metal. What is your stance on Catholic rap or rock/metal?

      I'm unaware of specifically "Catholic" rap/rock/metal, but I am aware of Protestant "Christian rock" such asthe group Stryper (deriving their name from the book of Isaiah "By His stripes we are healed"--a prophesy about the wounding and death of Christ which healed our souls of sin).

      In 2019, I met the lead singer of Stryper, Michael Sweet (his real name) while at a charity function. Mr. Sweet was a true gentleman and we spoke for about 20 minutes. I asked him about his music and he said (words to the best of my memory): "Stryper tries to get the message out that Christ is the Way. While I understand you're not Protestant, I'm sure you can understand how hearing positive messages about God are by far superior to singing about drugs, promiscuity, and Satan."

      He has a great point. In my opinion, Christian rock can be like a "bridge" between Satanic rock and classical music/Gregorian chant, etc. If you tell a teenage to stop listening to death metal and listen to Beethoven, they will laugh in your face. However, some may be open to listening to a group like Stryper, and ultimately get to Chant or Classical. Just my opinion.

    2. Some may want to consider as below. I can personally attest while still in novus ordo I encountered the demonic while listening to this so called Christian pop/rock, long after I had already abandoned any other modern music. Since when are Protestants Christians? I made it out of novus disordo and have been trying to unlearn and relearn ever since. God bless all. None of this is easy in this insane culture and false eveything!
      https://www.traditioninaction.org/Cultural/D057_Rock_7.htm
      "What is not an alternative is the so-called “Christian rock,” which is really just a guise to introduce rock music and its satanic inspiration into churches and homes. We are told that we must look and sound like the world in order to reach the youth of this generation, and so we introduce rock music into the churches to attract the youth. This type of reasoning is the doctrine of demons that unfortunately many Catholics are accepting.

      What “Christian rock” promotes is a compromise with rock music that opens the door to its bad effects. The same spirit of Rock 'n' Roll is found in so-called Christian rock: the spirit of rebellion, the spirit of immorality and perversion and an acceptance of the cultural revolution of the modern world.

      Behind this guise we find, therefore, a desire to conform to the modern world rather than to separate oneself from its godless influence."

In Vallee's 1965 book, Anatomy of a Phenomenon (and in other writings) he blasphemously called Our Lady of Lourdes, and Our Lady of Fatima to be the workings of intelligences from UFOs. He is adamant that UFOs are not extraterrestrials but "beings from another dimension."

      So, Fitzpatrick feels that a sworn enemy of the Church and a member of what Pope Leo XIII rightly called, "the Synagogue of Satan," is an objective and truthful reporter? Even LOURDES was the "work of UFOs"

      Notice Vallee gives NO CITATIONS to his account of what took place at Fatima.

      Finally, the protection of the Holy Ghost would not permit a demonic manifestation to be approved by the Holy Father (Pope Pius XII).

      That's from just my cursory overview of Fitzpatrick's garbage.

  18. Still trying to get traditional sacraments. I have done nothing wrong. I can't even afford to fly to another place to get the sacraments once.

      I'm beginning to think there is definitely something wrong with you. Week after week you come on my blog to say this and ANY SUGGESTIONS made by myself or any of my very kind readers, you dismiss as "impossible."

      If that's really the case pray for a miracle.

      What would you like me to do? Call Batman?

      Hoping God gives you what you seek for the salvation of your soul,

    3. I offer this to the person with no sacraments, it has brought me.solace...God.bless you:

      Not only now but also at various other times in history God has sanctified souls without giving them regular access to the Sacraments. Sometimes, physical persecution caused the absence of good priests and the true Sacraments. God called Japanese Catholics to this type of life for almost 300 years (1587-1873). See, Catholic Encyclopedia, article: Japanese Martyrs.

      During that period,
      Japan was a forbidden land, and it seemed that for once persecution had been successful in crushing out Christianity. But from time to time there came strange rumors that the Japanese Christians, deprived as they were of altars, priests, and sacrifice, were still here and there holding fast to the faith that had been preached to their fathers by St. Francis Xavier.

      Victories of the Martyrs, by St. Alphonsus de Liguori, Benzinger Bros, 1887, Appendix, p.455.

      At other times, it has been God’s Will that Catholics in some places have been without regular access to the true Sacraments because of travel difficulties and great distances to remote locations. For example:
      In one area of Ecuador which was sparsely served by priests, ... Redemptorist priests went two-by-two on horseback, among a population which was completely hidden in the forests or on the crests of volcanoes. Many people, as soon as they heard [that a Catholic mission was planned], closed their cabins and walked as far as 30 miles to take part in the exercises. Where there was no church, they hastily built “green tents” made of tree branches, under which the instructions were given and enthusiastically received for fifteen days, concluded by everyone receiving the Sacraments and consecrating himself and his family to the protection of the Blessed Virgin.

      When the Redemptorist Fathers had to leave, the parting was often quite heartrending—the poor people imploring them with tears to remain among them.

      Quoted from: Latin America: A Sketch of its Glorious Catholic Roots and a Snapshot of its Present, by the Editors of Quanta Cura Press, p.119, © 2016.

      To those whom God Wills to be without the Sacraments for a time, He gives the incalculably precious gift of a great increase in Faith. We see that illustrated in the love and devotion of the faithful in the Ecuadorian wilderness, as recounted above.

      We also see this in the Catholics living during the Masonic French Revolution, as recounted by Bishop Bruté, who lived through that period in France. Here is how Bishop Bruté described this priceless increase in Faith among the French Catholics living without the Sacraments:

      How strong and imperishable was [the Catholic Faith’s] hold upon thousands of hearts; how fervently did every true Christian family pledge its love and life to our blessed Lord; how constantly did Christian mothers require of their offspring, that, no matter what happened, they would never forget their duty to God. With how much anxiety, and yet fidelity, did they endeavor, especially on Sundays, to supply the want of public exercises of Religion and sanctify the day in their family.

      Quoted from Memoirs of Bishop Bruté, by Bishop James Bayley, from the chapter called Our Sundays in 1793, p.169, Sadlier & Co., New York, 1861.

      Thus, in some times and places, it has been for the good of their souls that Catholics have been without the benefit of good, uncompromising priests to regularly provide the true Sacraments.

      This is true now. Most of you do not have any Mass without compromise, on most Sundays and Holy Days. This will last for as long as God pleases—for the good of your own souls! St. Paul teaches us this comforting truth: [T]o them that love God, all things work together unto good. Romans, 8:28

  19. Introibo,is it correct that if you play this garbage backwards it gives off satanic messages.I believe the dimwits of Fillmore,NY had a video recording of this many years ago.

    What are your thoughts on the writings of the late Father Hertbert Thurston S.J ?

    Thank you and God bless

      Yes, there is such a thing as "backwards masking," and it has been employed by several rock groups, including The Beatles and Led Zepplin.

      The infamous Led Zepplin song "Stairway to Heaven" was exposed in April of 1982 for having "backward masked messages" on it. I was listening live when WPLJ-FM played the vinyl backwards, and I could clearly hear the words "My sweet Satan." There were other words allegedly spoken, but that phrase was unmistakable. The band denied doing it, and basically said it was just random sounds and active imaginations. Yet it was Page who said of Satanist Crowley, "...I've employed his system [of the occult] in my day to day life." (See Paul Kendall Led Zeppelin: In Their Own Words, pg. 109).

      You can hear a recording of the song backwards here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf0M1G1At28.

      As to theologian Thurston, he is an approved theologian and has written great works of theology. I especially recommend "The Church and Spiritualism."

  22. You don't "have" to do anything. You are not the priest. I do not need medication. I have been having difficulty getting traditional sacraments.

      While I have the greatest sympathy for you, you continually knock down any/all advice given as impossible to do. You choose not to even mention what state you're living in--which is your right. If it is therefore an "impossible situation," you need to pray to God for a miracle. There's no reason for you to keep commenting here every week saying the same thing.

      Pray hard, I will pray for you, and I ask all my readers to do the same.

  23. Medications are mostly more poisons or toxins fyi.

    If God does not will you the sacraments, you should accept His Holy Will and cooperate with the great graces He offers you in this time. God never promised anyone the sacraments. Why is this blog author your only hope? Reach out to True Restoration and see if they can assist you by referring a true priest. They found me priests who mentor me because I have no sacraments either.

  24. Some have the opinion that in certain circumstances the guilty should be called out. Perhaps if more people spoke out against bad priests in the '50s we wouldn't be in our current predicament.

    But it has to be the complete truth without false emphasis'. And with the right motive.

    To help the Priest back on the road to salvation (as tough love is the only thing that works for some) and to prevent others from going through the same thing you have.
