2. Those Campus Crusade for Christ people were NUTS!

I remember when the Rolling Stones were coming to town, the CCC were out in force to warn students about the demon rock and roll. One day outside the student union, a guy shoved some literature in my face and told me that the Stones were instruments of the devil. When I gave him a WTF look, he said "just listen to the lyrics to Sympathy for the Devil!"

I said, "I have and that's why I bought a ticket to see them!"


Fast forward two years...my brother's roommate joined their little cult. After being properly brainwashed, he came back to the dorm one day and started smashing all of his records. I remember seeing a Heart album and Steve Winwood's Arc of a Diver in the trash

My brother and I were thunderstruck by his actions. Needless to say the rest of the year was awkward.
