paul is dead, music legends

dear readers

I have the week off so that i'm writng like a madman, I feel I could write a 3 columns a day and not cover every mysteries . here are some mysteries and urban legends about rock and roll

the infamous love rollercoaster scream

the popular hit song Love Rollercoaster has became one of the ohio player greatest hits. It regain hit status thanks to the Red Hot Chili Peppers cover for the Beavis and Butthead Do America soundtrack. it has a darker meaning becuase in the begining a woman screams loudly most have dismmisede this as a woman screaming on a rollerocaster. some have put a darker menaing. the legend is that the model for the cover of the album Honey was a model who had run away from home when they filmed the cover which depicts a nude woman cover in honey on glass . what happened she was horribly burned by the heated honey and that the scream or that it stuck to the plastic like superglue and it ripped the skin off of her legs ruining her modeling career forever. she then does to the band in studio recording Love Rollercoaster and rants about she going sue them and take them to the cleaners. the manager then stabbed her and the band lefted it as a sick tribune. it is this the truth or is a urban legend. the ohio players claimed that it was one of the members by the number of Billy Beck and they never said anything to drive up sales. murder or a urban legend? you decide.

Backward Messages

the classic song Stairway To Heaven supposly said when played backward is quote "its my sweet Satan , the one who little path makes me sad whose power is fake. the next part is heavily debated some claimed that it says he gives you 666 there was a little toolshed who made us suffer my sweet Satan. this is what some claimed are backward messages . some christans claimed this is proof that the Rock is the devil. exampes inlcuded Cheap trick gonna raise hell played backward says Satan holds the keys to the lock. Deep purple Black Knight Oh devil whos leading from hell we believe. and even Britney Spears's pop Hit Me Baby One More Time it says when played backward "Have sex with me I'm not too young" backward messages are proof believers give of the Paul is Dead legend. the legend that Paul Mccartney was dead. the song Revolution no 9 when played backwards says carry on dead man. the white album has on it supposly messages like Paul is dead miss him miss him turn me on dead man turn me on dead man . the band Judas Priest was sued for supposly causing the sucide of two men Raymond Belknap and James Vance. The album Stained Class supposly contianed phrases Try Suicide, Let's be Dead, Do It, Do It that encouraged Belknoa and Vance to form a suicide pact, after a lenghty trial it was determined that it was a random arrival of words that formed the words and was placed there accidently. some musicans have placed mesasages delibrately like ELO on Fire on High says the music is reversable, time is not, turn back. on The Wall,Pink Floyd placed on the track Empty Spaces is a Messages says in the begining that says Congrualtions, you have disocvered the secret messages, please send your answer to Old Pink care of the old funny farm Chalfront. Prince's infamous song Darling Nikki ( a favorite of Tipper Gore ;.) says hello how are you I''m fine becuase the Lord is coming soon coming soon and my favorite the Christan rock band Perta placed in their song Judas Kiss says what are doing looking for the devil when you should be looking for God. Weird Al Yankovic on his album Bad Hair Day says in his song I remeber Larry says Wow you must have a lot free time on your hands. musicans have put gag messages like Frank Zappa and the B-52 to name a few to make fun of christans who believe that rock and roll is the "devil's music". the adam sandler film, Little Nicky, some stoners asked nicky if there are satanic messages in Black Sabbath, he says no and pulls out a Chicago album and the message "I command you in the name of Lucifer to spill the blood of the innocent" the stoners go "wow Chicago kicks ass" what are they,a random burst of words or is the devil corrupting minds through the music or did musicans put them there as a joke to screw with people who hate their music . we may never know so it is another mystery for Dispatches From The Edge
