Singing For Satan---Part 14


This week I continue my once-per-month 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.

Prince
Prince Rogers Nelson (1958-2016), was a singing sensation better known simply by his first name "Prince"--much like the late Elvis Presley was called "Elvis"--and for a while was known by a symbol with no pronunciation (he called it the "love symbol"), during which time he referred to himself as "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince" or "TAFKAP." Born and raised in Minnesota, Prince was a musical prodigy and a guitar virtuoso, who wrote his first song in 1965 at age 7. He signed a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records at the age of 17, and released his debut album For You in 1978 which was met with critical acclaim but not commercial success. That would change with the release of his sophomore album Prince in 1979, which went platinum. He then produced an album per year for the next three years, Dirty Mind (1980), Controversy (1981), and 1999 (1982), each of which was enormously successful.

Prince looked androgynous, and had an unusual affinity for the color purple. In 1984, his autobiographical movie was released, entitled Purple Rain, and the soundtrack was his most successful recording, selling over 20 million copies worldwide.That album is ranked 72nd in Rolling Stone magazine's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time,"  and it is also included on the list of Time magazine's "All-Time 100 Albums." In 2000, he dropped the "love symbol" and returned to calling himself Prince. He would produce 39 albums in total by the time of his death in 2016. He won eight (8) Grammy Awards, six (6) American Music Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award for the movie Purple Rain. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.

On April 21, 2016, Prince died in his Minnesota home less than two months before his 58th birthday. His death was determined to be the result of a drug overdose accompanied by flu-like symptoms. Prince was a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses ("JW") sect pretending to believe in Christ (JW's believe that Christ is inferior to God the Father --"Jehovah"--and deny the dogma of the Trinity). The JW's looked the other way as this cretin gave them money while doing everything against their moral code. In fact, Prince was obsessed with God and sex, and his songs would blasphemously associate both. His lyrics and lifestyle were perverse to the extreme.

What really angered me was how Prince was lionized in the media as some "hero." I hadn't seem anything like what followed his death since the creep John Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman in 1980, and the world treated Lennon as some ersatz "martyr." In less than two weeks after Prince died, cities across the United States lit up their buildings, bridges, and towers in purple lights because of his obsession with that color. (Purple was also used by sodomites in the early days when they would lobby politicians for "gay rights," earning them the moniker "The Lavender Lobby.") Prince's record sales spiked 42,000%  with 2.82 million songs being downloaded between April 15 and April 24. Obama, who couldn't attend Associate Justice Scalia's funeral when he died in February of 2016 (or even show up properly attired when speaking of his death), gushed over how great Prince was, and the Republican-led U.S. Senate passed a Resolution honoring him. The Washington Post even describes him as a "conservative Christian!"

His music was included in the playlist for the U.S. visits of "Pope" Benedict (2008) and "Pope" Francis (2015).  Even the Modernist Vatican lauded him; "Cardinal" Ravasi praised him for his musical talent. He tweeted: “Sometimes, sometimes I wish that life was never ending, / All good things they say, never last.” The song was first performed in the film Under the Cherry Moon, in which Prince played a gigolo, Christopher Tracy, who swindles wealthy French women."  (See http://catholicherald.co.uk/news/2016/04/22/cardinal-ravasi-pays-tribute-to-prince/; Emphasis mine).

Fake News and the Real Prince
The "love symbol" of Prince is really an ankh, an ancient Egyptian pagan symbol for fertility and reincarnation. The second cross beam just above the pointed "devil tail" is known as the "inverted cross," used by occultists to deny and mock the sacrifice of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Prince was raised in the Seventh Day Adventist sect, and became a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses sect in 2001.  The Washington Post's "religion reporter," Michelle Boorstein, wrote an article entitled, "Raunchy Prince was actually a conservative Christian who opposed gay marriage." This article is so fraught with errors and cherry-picked quotes, I'm surprised Ms. Boorstein ever graduated high school, let alone college. (See https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2016/04/21/raunchy-prince-was-actually-a-conservative-christian-who-reportedly-opposed-gay-marriage/?tid=a_inl).

The Watchtower Society (i.e., Jehovah's Witnesses, headquartered in Brooklyn, NYC) is not "Christian" even under the most broad and loose notion of the word. Their novel doctrines include: denial of the Holy Trinity, teaching Jesus Christ is really St. Michael the Archangel, imposing their own purposefully distorted version of the Bible (New World Translation) which supports their views, denial of the human soul, denial of Hell, and salvation through belonging to the Watchtower Society. The "Jesus" of the Watchtower Society is a false "Jesus" (See 2 Corinthians 11:3-4, "But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.  For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough."). 

His alleged opposition to sodomite marriage stems from his adherence to the Watchtower Society sect. He is alleged to have said in an interview with New Yorker magazine, " God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out," he told the magazine. "He was, like, 'Enough.'" However, the duplicitous, androgynous Prince came out with the following "clarification" in Rolling Stone magazine: "Prince is reportedly 'very angry' after the New Yorker accused him of making anti-gay marriage comments, with the Purple One alleging that the magazine misquoted him in a recent interview. According to the article, 'When asked about his perspective on social issues — gay marriage, abortion — Prince tapped his Bible and said, 'God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out.' However, a Prince source tells Perez Hilton, "What His Purpleness (sic) actually did was gesture to the Bible and said he follows what it teaches, referring mainly to the parts about loving everyone and refraining from judgment."  
(See https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/prince-irate-after-allegations-hes-anti-gay-marriage-82103/; Emphasis mine. Also note that Perez Hilton is himself a sodomite.)  In other words, "Who am I to judge?" Sound familiar, Mr. Bergoglio? 

Prince was born with epilepsy and was slight of stature. In a 2009 interview with People magazine, he claimed to have contact with an "angel." He said, "My mother told me one day I walked in to her and said, 'Mom, I'm not going to be sick anymore,' and she said, 'Why?' and I said 'Because an angel told me so.'" Prince intertwines religion and sex, and wants sex to be part of the way "God" is worshiped! The lavender color of the sodomite movement is a form of purple. His album Purple Rain can be interpreted as "Lavender Reign," the victory of the "gay rights" movement, with the androgynous one telling everyone it's OK to "stick it wherever" as long as you "love everyone and refrain from judgement." The only angel with whom Prince had contact with was a fallen one, as his life bears witness to demonic activity.  

Music from the Prince of This World

 Ms. Boorstein's article in the Washington Post does a good job cherry-picking lyrics to make Prince seem religious. For example, she quotes the lyrics from the song Controversy where he intones the words from the Protestant version of the Our Father: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us, Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever, Controversy, Controversy, Controversy, Controversy, Love him, love him baby.

Conveniently left out are the rest of the lyrics: I just can't believe, All the things people say, controversy, Am I black or white? Am I straight or gay? Controversy...Listen, people call me rude, I wish we all were nude, I wish there was no black and white, I wish there were no rules...Do I believe in God? Do I believe in me? Let me tell ya, Some people wanna die So they can be free, I said life is just a game, We're all just the same, Don't ya wanna play? (Emphasis mine). This can't seriously be called "Christian," Ms. Boorstein.

Boorstein attempts to justify his admitted "raunchiness" by quoting from his 2013 biography entitled, I Would Die 4 U; Why Prince became An Icon, "Prince intended sexuality to be linked to the worship of God, and he filled his music with classic Christian messages." What Prince promotes is some pagan notion of orgy like the Roman Empire of old. Catholic theology in no way supports linking the worship of God with sex (nor do Protestants). The theology he spouts doesn't even hold up to that taught by the Watchtower Society, but he was never "disfellowshipped" (the Watchtower version of excommunication) because of his stature and his big bucks donations. 

According to Rolling Stone magazine (1/17/85, pg. 33) in reference to a Prince concert in Detroit, "He [Prince] stripped and climbed into a bathtub. He pounded his pelvis into the floor time and time again." The article then relates how he stroked the neck of his guitar until liquid squirted out simulating an ejaculation. According to the Record of January 1985, during a concert Prince led the audience through a Sunday School hymn and "our anti-hero went through a Jekyll and Hyde bit at the keyboard, became possessed by devilish sexual temptation and asked God if He'd like to take a bath with him. At which point he ascended a staircase, stripped to his cabellero pants, slid into his tub for a neon green shower..."(Emphasis mine).

His song Sister is about incest. My sister never made love with anyone but me. Incest is everything it's said to be...Motherf***er can't you understand? (Vulgarity censored by me).

The song Head is about his seduction of a virgin bride, whom he gets to give him oral sex ('head") on her wedding day; I remember when I met u, baby, You were on your way to be wed, You were such a sexy thing, I loved the way you walked, The things you said, And I was so nonchalant, I didn't want you to be mis-led, But I've gotta have u, baby, I got to have you in my bed, And you said, 'But I'm just a virgin, And I'm on my way to be wed, But you're such a hunk, So full of spunk, I'll give you Head.

In the movie Purple Rain he slaps, threatens, pushes, and has sex with his object of desire, Apollonia. The song from that movie, When Doves Cry, discusses his excuses for verbal, physical, and sexual abuse of a woman:

How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father: too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
When doves cry (when doves cry)
When doves cry (when doves cry)
When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry

Please note that the dove is a Traditional Catholic symbol for the Holy Ghost, which the song represents as "crying" or "screaming"--a blasphemy that the Third Person of the Most Blessed Trinity "sounds like" this vile and reprehensible behavior which is pure evil.

The song Darling Nikki is about a nymphomaniac, I knew a girl named Nikki, I guess you could say she was a sex fiend, I met her in a hotel lobby, Masturbating with a magazine, She said how'd you like to waste some time, And I could not resist when I saw little Nikki grind.

Conclusion
The adulation of Prince Rodger Nelson is just another example of how the world doesn't know what true Christianity really is, wanting people to believe that anyone who talks about Jesus is thereby "Christian." Remember Christ said, "Not everyone who saith to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven." (St. Matthew 7:21). In our pagan culture, the media relishes the opportunity to express in effect, "Christians (sic) are just like the secular world." How the Modernist Vatican could say anything positive about this man is a sick joke. He misused his musical talent to lead souls to Hell. I guess Bergoglio admires that in him.

That all of this evil is being overlooked, and the man praised, is a clear sign the times are more wicked than ever (and will get worse) since the Great Apostasy of Vatican II. In his song When Doves Cry, Prince croons, "Maybe I'm just like my father..." Yes, Mr. Nelson, I think you are. You lived the life of the "Prince of Deception," a spiritual son of the Father of Lies.

  1. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems the World is going to become 50 X more immoral as opposed to 2018 before the final anti-Christ appears.
    Musicians like Prince were part of 2bd wave postmodernism which in my opinion was promoted to destroy the few morals/standards left after our hedonistic 1970's.
    Of course our Gomorrah-esque infant murdering,homosexual, Godless nation and the Godless Novus Ordo will honor him.
    He did a lot of leg work for their disgusting New World system.
    God bless.

  2. Another rock star who drugged himself to death. Professional entertainers such as rock stars and movie stars seem to have drug addiction rates and drug-related mortality at a rate many times higher than the general population. Of course, I think the reasons for this are fairly obvious to the readership of your blog, but do you know if anyone in the mainstream media has ever addressed this strange phenomenon? It must appear paradoxical to people of the world that the people who have (in the eyes of the world) the most enviable life should suffer the highest rates of disorders commonly associated with unhappiness? Does anyone ever try to explain this or even raise the question at all?

    1. You’ve made a salient point which the world will never address. It brings us back to God, and the world hates Him.

      I read a fiction story long ago about an astronaut stranded on a planet with no hope of rescue and all alone. He discovers that he was sent into space to bring a top secret serum to a space lab for analysis and mass production. The serum would grant whosoever drinks it with immortality. He finds the serum next to a deadly toxin and can’t discern which is which.

      After months of trying to decide which is which, and food supplies running low, he decides to make the best guess he can. He drinks one of the vials. The story ends with the astronaut crying on the floor. Not because he drank the poison but because he was now immortal. His existence was meaningless and death would be better than an eternity without a purpose.

      People will seek meaning in all the things of this world, and they will always be disappointed. Then they turn to depression, drugs to ease that depression, and an ignominious death. We were not meant for this world, but for God. These artists who figuratively (or literally) sold their soul for fame and fortune, end up miserable.

      Don’t expect the world to report on this anytime soon!

      God Bless,

  3. Not surprised that “Pope” Benedict and “Pope” Francis had the Prince of darkness on their playlists when they visited the U.S. It seems that the more perverse one is the more the Vatican II sect esteems them.

    2. Introibo,
      Regarding the perversion in the Vatican II Sect, I came across an article on how Pope Pius V responded 450 years ago to the widespread perversion among the clergy with his bull, Horrendum Illud Scelus. Link below.

  4. The song "Stairway to Heaven" when listened backwards says "sweet satan". But many occult rock´n´rollers had demonstrated the contrary. They became slaves of the world, flesh, and the devil, and they end their lives depressed and commit suicide or drowning on their own substance overdose. If satan is so "sweet", how can this calamities happen with its followers?

    1. Yes, I heard it played backwards here in NYC back in the 1980s. It’s called “Backwards Masking.” Satan is anything BUT “sweet.” It’s a lie from the Father Of Lies to dupe people into following him.

  5. Non-attendance at Scalia’s funeral is hardly an indictment of anyone as anti-Catholic. Scalia was no champion of Christ the King, but rather promoted the law of His enemies: https://callmejorgebergoglio.blogspot.com/2016/02/rip-antonin-nino-gregory-scalia.html

    Scalia was a member of a secret society, the International Order of St. Hubertus, that has ties to the sinister, Satanic Bohemian Grove: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/justice-scalia-spent-his-last-hours-with-members-of-this-secretive-society-of-elite-hunters/2016/02/24/1d77af38-db20-11e5-891a-4ed04f4213e8_story.html?utm_term=.d3d372652923

    Per Canon Law, Catholics who join Masonry or similar secret societies are ipso facto excommunicated.

    Scalia dismissed his Secret Service bodyguards before he went to the lodge, even though the lodge is only a few miles from the Mexican border and within drug cartel territory. Why would he do such a thing?

    1. I’ll add my two cents. Was Scalia a Traditionalist Catholic? No, but his son was a “conservative” V2 sect “priest,” and he attended the so-called “Indult mass.”

      I knew Justice Scalia personally. During law school, I was one of several students accepted to study Constitutional Law under him for two months. He was a strict textualist and originalist who had a definite way of construing legal texts. He was outspoken on the fact that the Constitution gave no “right Of privacy,” and that abortion and euthanasia are in no way “rights.” He voted in favor of giving public monies to religious schools (Zelman v Simmons-Harris), And was a staunch opponent of sodomite “rights” as well.

      The articles you cite are not definitive but seem to be based on guilt by association. The Washington Post article clearly states:
      There is nothing I can add to your observation that among my many guests at Cibolo Creek Ranch over the years some members of the International Order of St. Hubertus have been numbered,” Poindexter said in an email. “I am aware of no connection between that organization and Justice Scalia.”

      And again: “It is unclear what, if any, official association Scalia had with the group.”

      The Post also ran an article that shows the society to be Catholic (at least pre-V2), and a group of elite, influential men who respected animals, yet enjoyed hunting:

      See https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/animalia/wp/2016/02/25/how-st-huberts-encounter-with-a-deer-inspired-justice-scalias-green-robed-hunting-friends/.

      The blog is based on one man’s observations of his interactions among Jews, which is not unusual for someone in the legal profession coming from New Jersey. His talks to a Talmudic Society is both wrong and disturbing but not proof of Masonic membership.

      Maybe Scalia was a Mason, I don’t know, and there is not enough evidence for a positive labeling him as such. He wasn’t a Traditionalist—that’s for sure. My point was that Obama was such a Communist that he hated anyone who opposed murdering unborn children and sodomite rights as did Scalia. Scalia, like him or not, was a giant of the judicial branch of government. Yet Obama disrespected him, while praising some effeminate buffoon whose singing was nothing short of vile and demonic. Prince did NOTHING positive for the USA whatsoever. That’s how screwed up our moral compass has become—only praise the openly and totally evil ones. That was my point.

    2. Anon @6:16. - “Non-attendance at Scalia’s funeral is hardly an indictment of any one as anti-Catholic. Scalia was no champion of Christ the King, but rather promoted the law of his enemies.”

      The person who is anti-Catholic is Obama. Remember he stated that the people in Pennsylvania “cling to their guns and religion.” He attended Jeremiah Wright’s so called church that was constantly bashing America with the “chickens have come home to roost” comment and “G-d damn America” comments. Obama went around the world apologizing for America. Obama is the one who is “no Champion of Christ the King”. He has done more to destroy the moral fabric of America than any President. He promoted partial birth abortions, was pro-homosexual, and remember the bathroom saga to appease the transgenders. Race relations in this Country have never been worse in years. Remember “Freddie Gray”. Baltimore was burned, and looted and rioted while the Mayor and President Obama said and did nothing. Their silence in the matter spoke volumes. This Country has never been the same since Obama was elected. He was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He is not a Christian, but an anti-Christian. He proved it over and over by his actions and lack of morals. As a matter of fact it is my opinion that Obama and “Pope” Francis are a lot the same. They call “good evil and evil good”!

    1. According to Theologian Jone, alcohol may be used in moderation. There is no sin committed if there is no loss of reason. Intoxication that results in partial use of reason is a venial sin. Intoxication that robs you of reason is mortally sinful.

      To use a small amount of a narcotic to e.g. dispel insomnia, or for another good reason is venial sin. If there is any danger of becoming addicted or if the use of reason is affected,
      Then it is mortal sin. (See Moral Theology, pgs 56-58).

      Remember too that this was written in 1962. Modern medicine renders the need for self-medicating unnecessary. The principle remains eternally true; in the use of alcohol, there is sin whenever the use of reason is impaired or there is danger of addiction (alcohol is a drug too).

      Drugs should never be used outside of medical necessity and prescribed by a competent doctor. Jone would’ve been horrified at the drug addiction of today that did not exist when he wrote (e.g., crack).

  7. I've really enjoyed this series, I am a Seventh Day Adventist, and am very into music, and for a while, I listened to hall and oates, but one of the lyrics made me think and I decided to look it up and I found your series. I've gone through my music and there were a bunch of songs I deleted. Thank you for posting this series.
