It was my turn to bring the devotional music for morning seminary class. I brought my favorite religious song. Composed by someone who too grew up reading the Book of Mormon but from a different branch of the cult. I put the disk on the little portable record player checked out from the church library. I announced the name of the song. "The Second Coming". The teacher smiled approvingly. Even before the first verse of the song had played the teacher ripped the needle from the vinyl. With tears in his eyes he asked me whether I thought Heavenly Father was pleased by "this music."
I don't recall my response but I am sure He likes it better than "Praise to the Man" or "Hie to Kolob."

"I couldn't tell if the bells were getting louder
The songs they ring, I finally recognize
I only know, hell is getting hotter
The devil's getting smarter all the time

And it would be nice to walk upon the water
To talk again to angels on my side

Time is getting closer
I read it on a poster
Fanatical exposers
On corners, prophecy

It would be nice to walk upon the water
To talk again to angels at my side

I just come back to show you
All my words are golden
So, have no gods before me
I'm the light"

Alice Cooper

and then you bit the head off of a bat.

Someone threw a chicken onstage during an Alice Cooper Band concert, & Alice threw it back in the audience.

Ozzy too..likes birds

Too much reality for the unreal.

Now shame on you, you've reminded me of Tal's retelling of his dad's teenage birthday gift to him.

Tickets to an AC concert as I recall.

Alice waltzing a lady around and into a guillotine and then......

lights out and
