Hawks & BOC not in Vatican top ten

[M Holmes]

>From an article by Richard Owen:


On the front of the London Times today is an article concerning the
denunciation of "hard rock" as an "instrument of the devil" and the
urging of young people nto avoid it for fear of endangering their souls.

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine
of The Faith, considered the highest moral authority in the Vatican
after the Pope, has earned a fearsome reputation after admonishment and
ex-communication of dissident theologians.

His latest broadside, at the feast fo Saint Cecilia, patron saint of
music, he thought that there was a great deal in modern pop music which
endangered the human soul and urged heavy metal bands in particular to
"purify themselves".

Young people were warned against "subliminal stanic influence" in songs
by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Queen, Led Zeppelin, and
the Eagles.

Vatican officials later included Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath and AC/DC
in the "worst offenders" category and informed that "AC/DC" stood not
for alternating current, not even for bisexuality, but for "Anti-Christ,
Death to Christ".




Seems like they have some righteous shit down there at the Vatican. I
vote we send Joe Ratzy a copy of the covers tapes for comment. Who
knows, we could have a Hawkfiend as the next Pope.
