Subliminal Messages in Music...
 
Anyone remember back in the 80's when this was a HOT topic among church folk? They played LPs backwards so that you could hear the message, and they also showed how advertisers used 'hidden' artwork in their photos to show nudity and such...

We were in Salt Lake at Bro. Gill's church on vacation in 1982, when he had a seminar on this subject. The teacher was a Dawn Snerd, from Dover, Del. Has anyone known of her, or heard about her lately?

Don and I were talking last week about some of the points she made, and he has never forgotten some of the things she spoke on during her seminar...

Just curious...

I think it is a tremendous marketing gimmick. They probably sold more records due to the publicity about the "hidden" stuff than they would have otherwise... and they probably leaked the "secret" themselves.

I haven't kept up with the latest music but I remember the hidden 13th track on Nirvana's Nevermind album... it was basically 10 minutes of dead silence after the 12th song ended and then another song started up (not sure if I can call their screaming a song, but you know what I mean. lol.)

Yes, I remember. I also remember that when all that was coming out, that several churches around here held record burnings, and thousands of dollars worth of albums went up in smoke.

Wow.. that's crazy. LoL.. but maybe christians should listen to christian music.. LoL

This story reminds me of when I was in the 5th grade..
Sinéad O'Connor ripped a picture of Pope John Paul II on stage one of her concerts.
After that the Catholics began to burn her music and fan garb.

I'm fairly sure that the "I'm A Pentecostal Song" has a secret message in it...
