| Satan? |
Sunday June 26, 2005, Buzz Fugazi |
A devout Catholic Boy from the Heartland was on the phone with grave concerns. He enjoyed MSIG Army having potential to speak truth to authority yadda-yadda-yadda, Bush is a lying murdering bastard, three cheers for Irish Democrats and for Jack and Bobby, etc.
He thought the black and red coloring and goth costume punk overtones to the website will hurt the bands and political message we want to promote. No CDs in Wal-Mart. Our zines destroyed in droves by a store-front religious cult.
For the record, I was raised to believe that nothing rivals the power of the Creator of the Universe. No bastardized propaganda version of Pan, not the African trickster monkey, not any so-called Satan, could challenge that One.
Satan was taught to me in the form of a Jewish myth that seemingly crossed the African trickster monkey with Nordic trickster Loki and made him (it? her?) an Angel. A trickster. A tester. "This guy acts good, let's test his act, whaddya say?" As with all myths, some people intuited the concept of metaphor while others looked nervously over their shoulder for a goat-legged red beast with a goatee and an arrow tip at the end of a long tail.
I pray that G-d will protect me from Satan. People tell themselves and everyone listening: "I am saved!" without having passed into the after-life and hearing it from a Higher Power at the moment of truth. Who am I to judge? I am arrogant enough to feel G-d will protect me from Satan. It's people like George Bush and Saddam Hussein who give me the creeps. As for the web-site looking Satanic, I hope it converts lost souls from satanic metal heads to 21st century progressive activists into '80s underground punk. The black and red stay. As for Mikey and his werewolf costume... he looks more satanic without it.
