In Good Heumer

[flwyd]

From Snopes's New Year's Superstitions page:
According to widespread superstition, evil spirits and the Devil himself hate loud noise. We celebrate by making as much of a din as possible not just as an expression of joy at having a new year at our disposal, but also to make sure Old Scratch and his minions don't stick around. (Church bells are rung on a couple's wedding day for the same reason.)

That seems to fly in the face of the claim that Rock 'n' Roll is the Music of the Devil.

It's mellow rock that Satan grooves on, man, Phish and the Dead! Jerry Garcia went to heaven so the Devil couldn't listen to him!

Jerry admits, "a friend of the devil is a friend of mine." Obviously they're buddies.

I'm pretty sure Mariah Carey could scare the Big D though...
