Friends would say, “ It’s only an act, don’t take it so serious”

I heard that a lot myself.
I liked the melodies, the music
but the lyrics and the whole
” evil is cool “ rock theme
I knew and saw in my friends
had a fatal effect.
Just a slight update…
Alice Cooper is hardly demonic.

I never lost my individuality at a concert. The same holds true for vast numbers of other people I know.
I don’t doubt that the Smoke of Satan can and is at many live shows. However, I’d argue the same is true in movie theaters, conference rooms, TV, the internet, Congressional hearings, court rooms, living rooms, restaurants, and possibly even houses of worship.
Your mileage may vary.
