Woodstock - - 40 years later

I looked at fleetwoodmac.org They have a menu for photos and information on former members.

This was an anti-rock music video, not a music video, and all I saw was the trailer.

Just realized the wording I used might have been confusing. The video I mentioned was an anti-rock-music documentary. They probably included other groups in their exposé, but Fleetwood Mac was the only one shown in concert in the trailer.

Was it Pastor Joe Schimmel from California perhaps?

AC/DC sings Hells Bells.

They also sing Highway to Hell.

Interesting choice for a title of a song. I wonder if they had any clue as to that title and what it really meant.

Oh yes, I'm sure they did. The words to the song let you know that.

I looked him up, and I'm pretty sure it is one of his videos. I went here: http://theater.goodfight.org/ and entered Fleetwood Mac in the search box. I saw the same guy. He didn't have a guitar after all. He was only singing. But I'm sure it's the same concert clip. The name of the the video it was from is "They Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll." That may be the one I saw the trailer for. I thought it was Hell's Bells, but that phrase could have appeared somewhere else within the trailer. I will try to find the trailer and find out for sure. It won't be easy, because it is at the end of a videocassette that I've had for possibly 10 years, maybe even more, and I don't remember which one, only that it was a Christian video, like almost all the ones we have.

Anyway, now I know why they included Fleetwood Mac. Very eye-opening. I knew the name "Rhiannon" was Welsh. I didn't know the song was about a Welsh witch, or that Stevie Nicks is a witch. I looked her up too, and read what she herself said about "Rhiannon" and discovered she based the song on the same novel I read while I was in college, back when I was into novels dealing with the supernatural, before I became an Adventist.

I asked my son if he remembered the video trailer, which we saw when he was still quite young, and before I could get any farther than "at the end of one of our VHS videos, about rock and roll's connection with Satanism," he said "Hell's Bells." I asked him if he remembered the guy in Fleetwood Mac, and mimicked him a little bit. He said no, but he remembers being traumatized. I guess that was not a trailer for little kids to be watching. Too bad it was on the end of a Christian family movie. What were they thinking?!!!

Thanks for the details Cath. There is a whole assault program leveled at our children through music.
