History of satanic rock part 2

Fearing the devil, the townspeople buried him in
an unmarked grave.
Johnson's recorded legacy supposedly refers to
his deal with the devil in "Crossroads Blues", "Me
and the Devil Blues" and "Hellhounds On My
Trail".
A more likely explanation for Johnson's
tremendous guitar prowess was probably a
magical ritual known as "practice" as well as help
from a guitar tutor, one Ike Zinneman (an
unrecorded bluesman known for practicing in the
local cemetery, sitting on gravestones). But the
sold his soul legend persists to this day.
Part II: The Satanic 60's
Jagger at Altamont, 1969
When rock 'n' roll appeared in the 1950's, and its
effect on teens became known, it was only
natural that it would be derided as the Devil's
music as well. It was also attacked as decadent,
dangerous, immoral, obscene, and even part of a
Communist think tank's psych-op assault on the
West. Rock music was one of the first cultural
movements in America that was somewhat
colorblind as well; white musicians covered black
songwriters, black musicians covered white
ones. White kids bought records by black
musicians, which alarmed fundamentalist,
segregationist elements in society. Many forces
aligned in the late 50's to end the menace before it
could get out of hand. So Elvis was drafted,
Chuck Berry arrested, Jerry Lee Lewis blackballed.
Eddie Cochrane and Buddy Holly were killed in
accidents, Little Richard became a preacher. By
the early 60's, rock was, for all intents and
purposes, dead. Gone with it were the hip
shaking, dancing, shaking, and partying the Devil
commanded.
It was a short-lived victory for the legions of
decency. The Beatles rolled into town in 1964,
and worse, so did the Rolling Stones and
Animals. The British Invasion was also greeted
with accusations of communist plot and devil's
music, but it was too big to stop. Also too big
was the demographic who listened to it, the first
Baby Boomers to reach adulthood. The
enormous demographic swing of the 1960's saw
an unprecedented number of young people reach
prime record buying age.
The 60's were a time of reckless experimentation
and fads. Drugs became a significant component
of white suburban life for the very first time, as
youth experimented with pot and LSD. The drug
experience, coupled with a new political
awareness thanks largely to the Vietnam War and
the Civil Rights movement, helped create a new
underground youth movement, which popularly
came to be known as the counterculture, egged
on by the Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out and Never
Trust Anyone Over Thirty philosophies of the
day.
