From the comic book Angels? (1989). This delightful comic book/Christian tract is one of the better works of tractmeister Jack Chick. This small time struggling Christian rock quartet is scooped up by mysterious big shot Lew Siffer (get it? hanh? hanh?) and they sign a contract in blood! That's not good.
Sure they get big and famous, but then what happens? Well, two years, three months and one week later: Short blond Bobby, the drummer, has turned gay, married a Hell's Angel looking dude, been given "some AIDS" by Satan himself, and died. Guitarist Jim has collapsed onstage and probably died of an OD. Lead vocalist Don has gotten into vampirism and is so uncaring and selfish you could just pinch him. Guitarist Tom has ecaped to tell the tale, renounce Satan, and hit the road preaching that "...rock music, even much "Christian" Rock, is a powerful demonic force controlled by Satan." The comic peddles the old line that Christian rock is an oxymoron- rock music is inherently evil. I disagree, Christian rock is just inherently awful.
