Bill Hicks teaching the whole world to respect vynil and not to respect idiots and religious scaremongers. A mandatory lesson for anyone.
lyrics
(Sample taken from Bill Hicks' "Relentless", 1991)
Remember? A few years ago, if you played albums backwards there were satanic messages.
Let me tell you something: if you ever sat around playing your albums backwards… YOU ARE SATAN. Don't look any further and don't go ruin my stereo to prove a fucking point.
"Come here, listen listen"
[noise]
"Can you hear that?"
[noise]
"Satan is the lord, Satan is the lord?"
[noise]
"Come here, it's crystal clear, check this out!"
[noise]
"It's almost like he's in the room or something"
[noise]
"AH YOU ARE SATAN! Satan, destroyer of needles, ruiner of stereos. I am Satan and I have come to destroy high fidelity music, you will all listen to 8-tracks. Ah the deceiver!"
'Cause I have news for you, I live in the States, a very puritanical place, filled with superstition and ancient, ANCIENT religions that no longer serve their function on this planet because they are based on fear instead of love.
