"Sounds far fetched doesn't it? Well, walk over to your CD rack and your childrens' music collection and you may think differently.
In "Rockin' On the Highway To Hell" author Michael Bruce Plont aims to make the case that the music industry is highly influenced by Satanism
and hence those favorite songs of yours may be having an unnoticed effect. Mr. Plont approaches this issue very professionally. Building his
case against popular music in a court of law style, he uses both academic and biblical proof. He also makes no assumptions about the reader's
faith or lack of. Like any good prosecutor does, Mr. Plont uses the very words of the accused to convict them. Lyrics of songs are examined
and also interviews with musicians, where often no effort is made to hide their Satanic pride. Rockers such as Ozzy Osbourne, Carlos Santana,
and Jimi Hendrix all are quoted and investigated. Mr. Plont wastes no time in laying the "charge" against the accused:
"Lucifer is no stranger to the power music has over generations of people. He is the creative and powerful force
behind popular music and I will demonstrate how he has strategically used it as a means to draw man away from God. I want to present you with
the facts, and I want you to play the part of jury."
Near the end of the book other types of music are examined. Rap and hip hop, pop music, even country songs are briefly touched on, but
these genres could fill a book on their own. I think the reason Mr. Plont focused on rock music and heavy metal is because this is the style
that greatly affected him, and is quite often blatantly evil. The book switches back and forth from the personal story of Mr. Plont and his
experiences with rock music, drugs, women, and booze to a who's who expose of prominent Satanists and their connections to the music industry.
After reading this book and examining the evidence for myself, I agree with Mr. Plont on the guilty verdict, and with the compelling facts he
presents it is hard to come away thinking otherwise. I would recommend this book to parents and anyone involved with youth, but especially I
would recommend that youth read this book themselves. This book is a real eye opener - pick it up - read it - and then you will want to
clear out some of the "background noise" from your life.
