This is the second one of
my articles regarding the dangers of modern media for your Catholic Children. I
hope these articles will help you take care of the spiritual health of your children.
To state that the world is
in a bad state of affairs is to state the obvious. Children are very easy to
influence and a Catholic must take care of their souls- Remember and meditate
on what Queen Blanche said to King St. Louis! "My son, I would rather see
you dead in my arms than in the state of sin". Your
child's soul an even your own depend on how you raise them.
"Alvin, I think this isn't appropriate for us"
When I started reading about rock and pop musick in
2018, I was surprised at how evil this musick actually is. Degeneracy,
occultism, blasphemy, drugs, even suicide, rape, pedophilia and murder are
defended. Just think about all the lifes (including the lives of the stars
themselves) that have been swept over and destroyed by drug addiction, which these
musicians show as "fun" and "enlightening".
But the people don't care. And there are even
children movies glorifying rock and pop musick like nothing. It's
like trying to convince children to consume records when they are too old to consume
cartoons. Correct me if I am wrong, but we don't want Elmo or Dora the Explorer
to get stoned, worship satan and other things rocktards do.
I mean, rock and pop are directed at teens and
adults, not children. They don't even understand the lyrics most of the time. Yet
this movies prepare your children to fawn over Frankie Pervstar, Stoner
Cummings, Neil I. Scumberg and Scandalie Millermann.
- Alvin and the Chipmunks (glorifies pop level
9)
I give Alvin and the Chipmunks brownie points
because they do criticize the child celebrity industry, as Alvin, Simon and
Theodore are exploited by their evil manager. But it doesn't really roast the
musick, which is literally having someone lose his soul because he happens to
know some cool riffs. Please.
- Rock Dog 1 and 2 (glorifies rock level 10)
A Tibetan Mastiff leaves his strict father to
pursue his dream of being a rockstar. Be yourself message beating to the rhythm
of the musick.
- School of Rock (glorifies rock level 100)
You have a soy boy looser teaching your kids about
punk, metal, acid, grunge, and blues like you teach them mathematics or
Catholic doctrine. So inspirational. What does this movie teaches children?
- Trolls 1 and 2 (10 and 9)
The original is about little trolls who love partying and singing pop music. The second kind of condemns rock musick, but it fails to do so for the right reasons: The movie is about acceptance and diversity, as the evil rock queen learns that rock alone isn't cool enough. You also need pop, K-pop, hip-hop, and why not? Maybe some experimental music trolls stabbing tape recorders and filling piano chords with screws. Gee, they even have reggaeton trolls. Reggaeton is 100% about sex. Not for children.
- Zootopia (glorifies Shakira
level 6)
Zootopia isn't about rock, but Shakira interprets a
famous pop star called Gazelle. Gazelle defends the discriminated predators,
and the movie finishes with a concert.
- Hannah Montana (The Movie)
It's about a materialistic popstar who hides her
identity to her friends, and her vacation on Tennessee. It does show some bad
things of fame like being annoyed by any filthy paparazzi, but it doesn't really
criticize pop, in fact, Hannah Montana never stops being Hannah Montana, she
never decides that being a farmgirl in Tennessee it's better than undressing
and singing about sex in front of roaring audiences.
- Camp Rock (glorifies rock level 10)
Demi Lovato stars as the Cinderella of rock musick.
Read the following quote from the main male character:
"So here's some advice. It's not all about
your image. None of it means anything unless people see who you really are. And
your music has to be who you really are. It's gotta show how you feel, or it
doesn't mean anything."
The films slogan is "don't fit in, stand
out" yet this movie fits very well with our society's obsession with
popular musick.
- Sing (10)
A bunch of anthropomorphic animals singing your latest and oldest rap, rock and pop ear cringe musick. Bad, bad, bad. It even includes some rabbits twerking. Not for children.
- Star Struck (glorifies rock level 7)
So normal girl meets famous pop star, she doesn't
love him, but then they fall in love because "she is not a blubbering
fanatic salivating for a bit of attention from him". This movie gets kudos
because the pop star is stalked by wimpy paparazzies, but then it loses them
because 1: it's just another groupie fantasy. Just because Jessica is
reasonable doesn't mean the average girl who watches this film doesn't have
crushes on Justin Bieber, or in this case, Christopher Wilde. 2: It doesn't
criticize pop for its degeneracy but for the accidental effects of fame.
- High School Music (glorifies level 7)
This thing certainly rocks but it's yet another
acceptance movie about a nerd and a basketballer who sing together on a music.
Like Zootopia, not so hard, but you can smell it.
- Hop (gloryfies rock level
10)
Yet another be yourself movie about the son of the
Easter bunny, who wishes to be a drummer instead of putting eggs in the
gardens. In Spanish its slogan was "Rebede sin Pascua", which means
"Rebel without Easter" and was a pun on "Rebelde sin
Causa", which means "Rebel without a Cause" in English.
Now, various movies for children have rock blasting
in the background. Even Toy Story has a popish rockish song in one scene. I
clearly remember the main rock songs from Shrek, including Leonard Cohen's Alleluia.
The song Livin' La Vida Loca was played in Shrek 2. This is understabdable
because the people like the musick, yet we should raise our eyebrows, why not?
Particularly when there is a horrible, sexually explicit, gross song being
played in a movie for children.
Gee, Elton John was behind songs for The Lion King
and El Dorado. What are this people doing here? Like, leave the kids alone.
Our seal friends also have slinked some of their
messages in your favorite children movie's songs. Hakuna Matata is a Don't Worry
Be Happy style nihilist, careless, even selfish song.
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
Why, when he was a young warthog
When I was a young wart-hoooog!
Very nice!
Thanks!
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the Savannah after every meal
I'm a sensitive soul, though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And oh, the shame
(He was ashamed!)
Thought of changin' my name
(Oh, what's in a name?)
And I got downhearted
(How did you feel?)
Every time that I-
Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!
Oh... sorry
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
Yeah, sing it, kid!
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
(Repeats, so the sheep learns)
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata
It's Tough to be a God is supposedly about the
uncomfortable feelings characters Tulio and Miguel experience when the natives
from El Dorado think they are gods, despite the fact that they are two
effeminate losers. They mock the pagans while accepting their new title out of
convenience. Of course, Elton John had to throw a stone at Christianity by
referencing the Cherubim and Sundays
I hardly think I'm qualified
To come across all sanctified
I just don't cut it with the cherubim
The town's already on its knees
Being worshipped is a breeze
I barely know the words to any hymn
Listen, if we don't comply
To the locals' wishes I
Can see us being sacrificed or stuffed
Let's be gods, the perks are great
El Dorado on a plate
Local feeling should not be rebuffed
It's tough to be a god
Tread where mortals have not trod
Be deified when really you're a sham
Be an object of devotion
Be the subject of psalms
It's a terrifying notion
All those prayers and those salaams
Any normal man would bridle
If he's forced to be an idol
And a normal man's exactly what I am
All the same, it's pretty clear
The scoundrels don't keep much up here
They must have zillions under lock and key
But gods can force them to unleash
Enough to make us nouveau riche
Beyond our wildest dreams, so follow me!
Can't you see I won't relax
If religious maniacs
Tell me I'm all-powerful and sublime
How can I be their belief
When I'm lying through my teeth?
Why don't we just say, "some other time"?
It's tough to be a god
But if you get the people's nod
Count your blessings, keep them sweet is my advice
Be nirvana, be salvation
Be all things to all men
Butter up your congregation
Every Sunday score a ten
The alternative is dire
Simply frying pan to fire
So sign on two new gods for paradise, paradise
(nothing says "divine" like blasphemy)
"I Just Can't Wait To Be King" it's Simba
wishing to be king because, well, he can be himself, do what he pleases and
everybody will respect him.
Way behind the water hole
A little down the line
The jungle and the plains and peaks
Are scheduled to be mine
I'm gonna be the ruler
Of most everything around
From the grandest of the mountains
To the humble common ground
My reign will be a super-awesome thing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
I'm going to be a noble king
So enemies beware
I only need a little time
Perhaps a little hair
I'm gonna be the main event
Like no king before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my roar
The fauna and the flora gonna swing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
Nobody saying do this
Nobody saying be there
Nobody saying stop that
Nobody saying see here
Free to run around all day
I'll be free to do it my way
I wanna be king
(HOLD)
Nobody saying do this
Nobody saying be there
Nobody saying stop that
Nobody saying see here
Free to run around all day, yeah
I’ll be free to do it my way
The time has come
As someone said
To talk of many things
This may be true
But I would rather stick to talking kings
It's easy to be royal
If you're already leonine
It isn't just my right
Even my left will be divine
The monarchy is waiting to go zing, yeah
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
Oh... Oh... Oh I just can't wait to be king
Oh, yeah... oh oh oh
King of the world, yeah
Oh (Oh)... Oh (Oh)... Oh I just can't wait to be
king
I wanna be king. Come On.
Conclusion.
Regarding the music, it’s very difficult not to be
attracted to the musick around us, unless your chlidren have a very
sophisticated taste. My mother always played good classical music, if you play
this music to your children it's probable they will prefer it to pop,
particularly if you don't stick with the Canon in D, the 4 Seasons, Fur Elise
and boring endless pseudo piano you tube videos which everybody plays and your
kids will get bored of them. Also, most opera is adult themed, particularly
romantic operas. Of course, if you teach them to love Jesus Christ, they
will never like musick that is blasphemous or obscene.
Regarding the movies, why do they make animated
films about cute dogs or rabbits singing over this kind of musick? Many of the
films criticized the excessive attention and exploitation popstars receive
while ignoring the true darkness and sickness of this musick. It's akin to
saying the problem with pot consumption is that your eyes become red. They try
to convince you that rock is fun, harmless and that your children will be able
to be true to themselves via dope, promiscuity, rampant nihilism, and
self-destruction under the sugar coat of some cute squirrels and Disney boy
bands playing some cool riffs, banging basses and ballistic drumming. Just bravo.
