- That sounds like a joke I played on a friend of mine once.
- She's very religous and has always been razzing me about the
- "irreverent" nature of the metal music I listen to.
- Really got upset when she saw a "Judas Priest" tape I had with me.
- Anyway our church youth g So,I asked her is I could bring along a few of my tap
- tapes, and she asked what was on them. I insisted that she would like them,
- they were recordings of a band called "Testament". She approved the tapes
- until she found out about such songs as "Curse of the Legions of Death"
- and "Apocalyptic City". Pretty good joke though.
-
- Even funnier, back in high school, after a bad relationsin romance.
- (even sounded a little like a character from Dr. Strangelove now that
- I think about it, although I hadn't seen that film at that time).
- I even went as far as to explain to people that romance depicted in
- the media (music, films, TV, books) were in fact a part of this
- "Communist conspircy to infilitrate our society". I would provide
- detailed analysis of the TV shows and movies in this manner.
- Heck, I even explained that the worst offenders were the producers
- the music of Belinda Carlisle was the "utlimate threat to our
- way of life.".
-
- The scary thing about this is that some people really beleived what
- I was saying!!
-
- That was a long time ago.
-
- I have a girlfriend now and we are doing just fine.
