People That Are Going To Hell

Leave it to the self-ironic pop punk of the Vandals to take what would otherwise be a very crass pious thought and make it amusing, safe, and comforting.

Some people are bad and they don't give a damn what they do or who they hurt
they go through their lives and don't apologize
for the stuff that they've disturbed
but they don't bother me at all
cuz i know quite well-
when they're lives are over and they're done what they've done
they're the people that are going to hell







A little levity for Pancake Day. Very solemn Ash Wednesday post will appear in the morning.

  1. M-m-m, I'm quite sure I heard a word other than "stuff" being sung in there ;-)

  2. For posting that song your penance is ... (better do it or you might end up you-know-where).

    Actually, given my particular musical tastes, I believe that by listening to that song I just worked off a good 40-odd days from my visit through purgatory.

    Next time throw in some Alice Cooper and I might just be declared a martyr for the faith.

  5. As a teacher, "School's Out" is still one of my favorite songs. (Alice Cooper was also one of my first concerts!)

    Rather reminds me of the Meat Puppets song (famously covered by Nirvana): "Where do bad folks go when they die?/They don't go to heaven where the angels fly./They go to a place of fire and fry./See them again 'til the Fourth of July."

    Not sure what Fourth of July part is all about.

  7. Yes. I have always wondered about that myself.

    Here's the original

Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.

I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.

If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
