I don't believe that these people sold their souls to the devil. I believe more that they think they sold their souls to the devil, but it
wasn't really the devil, because there really isn't a devil. We're all just supposed to believe there's one, and we're especially supposed to
believe there is a God.
I do believe as well that there are some who have continued the practice of Magic(k) and are very adept by now. The definition of magick being the
manipulation of reality by the force of will, I do not discount the possibility that something that looks like the devil could be tricking people and
using them for some purpose.
But my question is, if these people were duped and they're being used, does that mean that the lyrics that they use are given to them to sing? Is it
the lyrics that are supposed to be corrupting the youth and causing the fall of society? I just don't think they're that powerful. You would have to
be extremely suggestible to allow the lyrics of modern music to control you in some way. Most of the music is obviously canned. A lot of these artists
might come up with a melody on a piano, but the music is made in post by sessioners.
Granted, a lot of these songs don't portray or instill in one a great attitude toward many different things like sex, gender, race, etc. If this
music really did anything bad, it would just make more people more musically illiterate. There's just not a lot of thought going on behind the
music.
Anyone heard of a country artist having sold their soul to the devil, you know, besides Roy Clark and Charlie Pride?
