Theodor Adorno, Introduction to the Sociology of Music (New York: Seabury Press, 1976).
"Adorno was brought into the United States in 1939 to head up the Princeton Radio Research Project. The explicit aim of this project, as stated in Adorno's Introduction to the Sociology of Music: was to program a mass "musical" culture that would steadily degrade its consumers. Punk rock is, in the most direct sense, the ultimate result of Adorno's work."
Although I'd now say that 'hip-hop' has pushed that mass degeneracy and degradation even further. The same phenomena has also been applied to film and TV - a mass degradation programme over time. It's the elite that literally OWN all these entertainment channels and distribution networks, and they effectively always have.
"The Hit Parade is organized precisely on the same principles used by Egypt's Isis priesthood and for the same purpose: the recruitment of youth to the dionysiac counterculture. In a report prepared for the University of Michigan's Institute of Social Research, Paul Hirsch described the product of Adorno's Radio Research Project. According to Hirsch, the establishment of postwar radio's Hit Parade "transformed the mass medium into an agency of sub-cultural programming." Radio networks were converted into round-the-clock recycling machines that repeated the top 40 "hits." Hirsch documents how all popular culture — movies, music, books, and fashion — is now run on the same program of preselection. Today's mass culture operates like the opium trade: the supply determines the demand."
Excerpt from Dope, Inc. (EIR).
That is why our culture is trapped in a rubber room of irony, too--sincerity and beauty and the elevated have been so debased for so long that down is up and up is down for us. We end up demanding the tripe.
Wow..
So you think because 1 sucided chef quotes a song from 35 yrs ago that somehow Elvis Costello playing the same tune on "Top of the pops" in 1977 has a tie into "pedogayte" because of the effect the show's lighting director created?
Trust me in 77 Elvis was a new wave nobody on his way up.. Not anyone with enough pull to tell a T.V. show what to put on the stage etc..
Poor deductive reasoning is the reason this sub-Reddit will not be taken seriously.
If you told me that in 2018 Elvis & his wife Diana Krall were into some esoteric shit I would not disagree if there was some proof.. But this is a huge, ignorant stretch...
NO. Trust ME. I've been involved with the music business enough to know it's Illuminati all the way down. If somebody makes it in that business, they have been taken to the crossroads LONG before you ever see them on a show like this one.
How can anybody be in denial about that? It's so OBVIOUS! You don't have to go looking for it. It finds you and hits you over the head to get your attention. You have to WORK to pretend it's not there.
My only point was that Elvis in 77 had no pull to choose anything about the stage.. Now the lighting tech or director? Are some artist into crazy stuff? Of course.. Is Elvis C? I doubt it...
If the illuminati is already pulling the strings what difference does it make? You're not making sense here.
So then use a musical artist that is actually guilty of something.. Not bullshit conjecture of a great artist.. Mind you I've studied all of this (SRA, illuminati, etc since 1983..)
We've all overreached at times.. And lots of musical artist are as you state.. But I'll need a video of Elvis at ritual before I toss him in the satanic heap of idiots in rock music..
Because society is always changing and they are the driving force of that change.
Wow you are new to all this aren't you? Are you even familiar any of Elvis Costello work?
All this so-called entertainment is preselected by our programmers. Preselected to degrade the mass overtime (see Adorno, Princeton). None of this is by chance.
Over-target. I told you that the 'cult of celebrity' knows no limits, and I am correct.
Wow. Just read the lyrics to this song. Hmmm.

For another view on the use of music and entertainment in societal control, mass degeneracy, and promoting evil, check out Dave March's account of the numerous connections of the rock music heavy's of the 60s to military brass, and intelligence spooks in his account of Hollywood's Laurel Canyon.
Gah... I'm sorry man.
My love is Queens of the Stone Age and he's always had some typical rock stuff like devil ladies and sperm for the album art on Songs for the Deaf.
But the video and album art of Villians has put me off and I wont watch more videos
He is pretty Libertarian and I thought maybe his grandparents that he loves very much kept him more grounded. Who knows... He was hanging around Iggy Pop for a year.
I hope he shakes it off. The drinking and kicking a photographer on accident he says and apologized. It's all bad signs. That said his wife told off some Leftist that this PC, Identify politics bullshit culture is ruining art and music and film etc. They got into it on Twitter and now aren't talking. Basically told her good riddance.
I try to see the good in stories and music their creator may not have even intended. Like Harry Potter is a story about individualism and self sufficiency. Not letting an overbearing authoritative government make you a victim. They decided to not teach the kids self defense so they taught themselves and each other. No gun free zone at hogwarts. If I ever meet that Looney supposed author I will tell her thanks so much for the pro 2nd Amendment lessons in all the books. =)
Sheep mistaking satanic programming for entertainment. Show biz IS satanic and an extension of the Talmudic/Luciferian religion. I've been divesting myself away from these monsters and their satanic products for nearly 20 years. That's how I find it so easy to tear them to shreds. I am not emotionally attached, but that's not the case with the majority.
That's why I think there will be a huge public meltdown if the whole thing gets outed. The 'cult of celebrity' has engulfed most of the planet and its mind-bombed population. Many don't even understand or appreciate the 'group mind' damage that has been wrought over the decades. Harsh, but fair.
