Occult Music Industry; Wisdom and dark secrets, revealing celebrity quotes that reveal the dark rites and unseen forces behind fame.
"It was a crusade, it was a mission. We were like sentinels, like lights. ON TOUR THE SHOWS WERE LIKE CHURCH; Bob delivering the sermon. There were mixed emotions in the audience: you see people literally crying, people in a frenzy, on A SPIRITUAL HIGH ... These concerts were powerful and highly spiritual. There was a power that pulled you there. It was a clean feeling ... For months and maybe years it stays with you"
Judy Mowatt
"Whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him."
Samuel
"A driving drum rhythm in excess of three to four beats per second will put the brain into a state of stress, regardless if the listener likes or dislikes the music. And when the brain is in this stressful state, it will release opioids—a group of natural hormones that function like morphine—to help return itself to normal equilibrium and sense of well-being. These natural opioids, if experienced often enough, can be addicting, creating in the listener the continual desire for that ‘high’ somewhat like the high runners experience."
Dr. Daniel und Bernadette Skubik
"Film is the most powerful weapon in the world. Filmmakers have the responsibility not just to entertain, but to be responsible, to inform"
Steven Spielberg
"The other thing is the first line of the song says I was born on the same plantation in the United States of the red, white and blue, and we live in a place now that feels just about like a plantation. We're all indentured servants. When I found out there were eight presidents before George Washington, I wanted to smack somebody. I wanted to know why I was taught otherwise. Just tell me the whole story - I'll fill in the blanks. But don't tell me something that you think I'm supposed to know."
Prince
"For changing peoples' manners and altering their customs there is nothing better than music."
Shu Ching
"Music directly represents the passions of the soul. If one listens to the wrong kind of music, he will become the wrong kind of person."
Aristotle
"Through foolishness they deceived themselves into thinking that there was no right or wrong way in music, that it was to be judged good or bad by the pleasure it gave. By their works and their theories they infected the masses with the presumption to think themselves adequate judges. So our theatres, once silent, grew vocal, and aristocracy of music gave way to a pernicious theatrocracy...the criterion was not music, but a reputation for promiscuous cleverness and a spirit of law-breaking."
Plato
"Hey hey, Rock and roll can never die. There's more to the picture than meets the eye"
Neil Young
"Rock music is sex and you have to hit them [teenagers] in the face with it"
Andrew Oldham
„Today’s Satanic bands are the vehicle of choice for millions of young people. If they encourage a study of real Satanism, I’m all for them. Now, there are many influential groups who know Satanism and aren’t afraid to espouse it—bands like King Diamond, The Electric Hellfire Club, Acheron, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails—the list is long. I have no use for the bands who take the Devil’s name, but are too chickenshit to play the Devil’s game. They’re usually too stupid to present any argument concerning Satanism. Instead, when put to the question, they cop out by answering: “Yeah—I was into that shit but not now. Don’t ask me about it because there’s no point in talking about it.” There are Satanic bands and there are “Satanic” bands.“
Anton Szandor LaVey
"Our music is intended to broaden the generation gap and alienate children from their parents"
Jefferson Starship
"As a country artist, I'm not proud of a lot of the things in my field. There is no doubt in my mind that we are contributing to the moral decline in America"
Conway Twitty
"Rock concerts are the churches Of today.Music puts them on a spiritual plane. All music is God"
Craig Chaquico
"I don't know if anyone has really understood what we're trying to do . . . to lure people in. Once we've got 'em we can give 'em our message."
Marilyn Manson
"It made people feel profane. All those things they were saying about rock and roll, it's going to subvert our youth, it's going to make them to want to have sex, it will make them crazy, they were right.
Billy Joel
"I go out and take them by the throat. It's like raping them. And I don't let them go. They have no chance."
Alice Cooper
"The blues are easy to play but not to feel. The background to our music is a spiritual-blues thing. Blues is a part of America. We're making our music into electric church music—a new kind of Bible, not like in a hotel, but a Bible you carry in your hearts, one that will give you a physical feeling. We try to make our music so loose and hard-hitting so that it hits your soul hard enough to make it open. It's like shock therapy or a can opener. Rock is technically blues-based...We want them to realize that our music is just as spiritual as going to church."
Jimi Hendrix
"Rock is the perfect primal method of releasing our violent instinct. I like to rape the audience."
Ted Nugent
"The media may constitute the most powerful education system ever known to man."
Fred Fedler
"[...] All media work us over completely. They are so pervasive in their personal, political, economic, aesthetic, psychological, moral, ethical, and social consequences that they leave no part of us untouched, unaffected, unaltered. The medium is the message. Any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without a knowledge of the way media work as environments.[...] All media are extensions of some human faculty — psychic or physical. [...] Media, by altering the environment, evoke in us unique ratios of sense perceptions. The extension of any one sense alters the way we think and act—the way we perceive the world. When these ratios change, men change.[...]"
Marshall McLuhan
"Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty cents."
Marilyn Monroe
"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."
Frank Zappa
“We’re dealing with a culture of teenage babies, they can watch TV, do their homework, and listen to music all at the same time. The strongest appeal you can make is emotional. If you can get their emotions going, make them forget their logic…you’ve got them. At MTV, we don’t shoot for the 14 year olds – WE OWN THEM,”
Robert Pittman
"Rock music is a greater influence over the souls of men than primitive Christianity."
John Denver
