So mediocre goth-rockers the Schoolyard Heroes have got to be thanking Satan for their latest stroke of luck. The band, which does a pretty weak rip off of everyone from The Cramps to Danzig, has manged to piss off a group of fanatical conservative parents with their goofy faux devil rock lyrics. Citing satanic references, the parents are circulating an online petition.
To quote the petition:
THese (sic)are satanic priests in their pulpits on stages and in clubs around the world. They understand the power in music and how they can plant their ideas in your children to make them do anything. THey (sic) want to kill your children and their lyrics state this very thing.
Not since Marilyn Manson has such a crappy band managed to garner such a mother load of free publicity thanks to clueless parents. Here's the equation: Pissed off parents = coolness seal of approval for mall rats with cash to spend.
I first found out about this controversy from the band's record label which issued a breathless press release spelling out the issue (they were also kind enough to provide a link to the pissed off parents petition). Clearly the record label knows how to play the game.
Parents I implore you. Let's address the real evil: Celine Dion's never ending Vegas show. The fact that she can charge $7 for a commemorative Celine Dion spoon is proof that Satan walks amongst us!
