Rock along with Mister Kitty and the Antichrist today as we bring you a couple of songs with Revelations in mind! Even though the vast majority of Biblical scholars have interpreted "The Beast" as detailed in the Revelation Of St. John The Divine to be the boring old Roman Empire, that didn't stop legions (get it?) of opportunistic Christian doomsayers from scaring the hell out of everybody with dire prophecies of lakes of blood, whores of Babylon, seals, crowns, locusts, Stars of Wormwood, et cetera, all visiting judgement upon a sinful Humanity too concerned with Watergate, smoking dope, getting funky, the Super Bowl, and other worldly pursuits. And behind it all was the enigmatic figure of The Antichrist, whose number is six hundred and sixty six, who will usher in an age of blood and terror and according to some careful interpretations will possess a ring that's actually a super laser beam, as featured in Salem Kirban's novel "666".
Many musical acts have used the Bible for inspiration, and first up is our fave New England family folk-rock combo The Cowsills, who are currently the subject of a campaign to get them inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame (http://www.petitiononline.com/tchof05/petition.html)- go sign it - and whose single The Prophecy of Daniel And St. John the Divine, is an amalgamation of that dream-interpreting Babylonian hostage Daniel's prophecies (circa 600 BC) and our famous Four Horsemen dude St. John, the Eagle of Patmos, who rocked our world in the 90s AD with his controversial best-seller The Apocalypse of John. This single charted at 75 on Billboard's list. Clearly the listening public wanted to hear about Hair, not Whores of Babylon.
Larry Norman, who passed away earlier this year, was called the Father of Christian Rock. After spending time cutting top-10 singles with the band "People!" he left the band when presented with a "join Scientology or else" ultimatum from his bandmates. As a solo artist recording with his own label he produced rock-driven Christian music that influenced musicians as widely divergent as the Pixie's Black Francis and members of U2, and even though he's a popular Christian singer, his work is hard to find in Christian stores, because Larry spoke out against racism and poverty and spent his time with those freaky longhairs! Like fellow Christian outsider artist Jack Chick, Norman's work didn't waste time preaching to the choir, but took the message to the streets. Can you imagine? The song presented here, Six Sixty Six,a gloomy meditation on how much things will suck when the Antichrist takes over, was covered by Black Francis.
