Ep 161 | Satan in the Suburbs: The 1980's Panic That Rocked America
from TIMpactful Topics with Tim Messer · host Tim Messer
Today, I discuss the "Satanic Panic" of the 70's and 80's. I share a story of how 13-year old Tim thought it would be a good idea to buy a Black Sabbath shirt and what happened when little brother found it. From decoding evil messages in rock music played backward, to the "gateway to witchcraft" game called Dungeons & Dragons, I talk about the paranoia on our airwaves and in our homes during my childhood.
