When I was a kid growing up in Spokane in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s I went to a very conservative christian school. On a routine basis we were taken on field trips to listen to speakers at different church conferences on all sorts of topics. This guy, Jacob Aranza, was the speaker at one of those conferences. I don’t know how I got this book. Whether it was given to me at his speech (which was a multi-media affair with slides of offending album covers and everything!) or bought for me by a relative, but today I’m going to share some of it with you. Warning: This shit is CRAZY!

Alan Parsons Project

This group has an album called Pyramid. On the front cover ther is a picture of pyramid power which causes an out-of-the-body experience. The witchcraft overtones of pyramid power are carefully spelled out in the lyrics which say: “There are pyramids in my head. There’s one under my bed. All you really need is a pytamid a just a little bit of luck I had read somewhere in a book and it’s no lie, all you really need is a little bit of pyramidic help.”

Allen Parsons Project also has an album entitled Eve. The album’s front cover reveals two ladies faces behind veils. If you take a close look you can see that both ladies have sores and warts on their faces.

One state’s venereal disease investigator looked at the warts and sores on the faces in the picture and concluded that the ladies in the picture were suffering from secondary syphilis.

How many young people listening to Eve fully realize that the theme of the album is VD?

Hall N’ Oates

Daryl Hall is a follower of Aleister Crowley and an admitted initiate of magic. He claims his song “Winged Bull” is dedicated to the ancient Celtic (witchcraft) religion.

Daryl openly admits to being involved with witchcraft.

Expressing his view on sex he said, “The idea of sex with a man doesn’t turn me off. I had lots of strange experiences with older boys between when I was four and fourteen.” Hall N’ Oates may seem very wholesome at first glance, but a further look into their lives shows them to be anything but wholesome.

Judas Priest

The English group’s promotional material says that their new album Sin After Sin is selling sin or has sin for sale.

“Judas Priest, a new group from the industrial heartland of England is selling sin on their new album. Their new album is called Sin After Sin, but don’t worry you will still be saved,” the promotional piece says.

Of course the message of the album is that a person can live the way he wants to and still get by with it, still be saved.

Ted Nuggent

In an interview with Scott Cohen in Circus Magazine Ted Nuggent said, “…killed a raccoon, scraped it off the pavement, brought it whome with me, skinned it boiled it and ate it.” Circus Magazine reported that 12 people died in a riot after a performance in South Carolina.

Ted Nuggent’s performances are more than an act. His perverted songs come from a perverted life-style.
