Spiritualism... Desire is the Highest Law!

And to complete his work, he [Satan] declares, through the spirits [through Spiritualism] that “true knowledge places man above all law;” that “whatever is, is right;” that “God doth not condemn;” and that “all sins which are committed are innocent.” When the people are thus led to believe that desire is the highest law, that liberty is license, and that man is accountable only to himself, who can wonder that corruption and depravity teem on every hand?

White, Ellen G., The Great Controversy, p.  555.

LSD Opened Up George Harrison's Mind to Something

"When I was younger, with the aftereffects of the LSD that opened something up inside me in 1966, a flood of other thoughts came into my head, which led me to the yogis."

David Bowie on Rock 'n' Roll

Rock has always been the devil’s music. You can’t convince me that it isn’t.

[...]

I honestly believe everything that I’ve said. I believe that rock & roll is dangerous. It could well bring about a very evil feeling in the West. [...] And that’s where I see it [Rock 'n' Roll] heading, bringing about the dark era. [...] I feel that we’re only heralding something even darker than ourselves. [...]

David Bowie quoted in Rolling Stone, no. 206 (February 12, 1976), p. 83.

Keith Richards on Inspiration in Song Writing

"Songs -- yeah. People think you're a songwriter, they think you wrote it, it's all yours, you are totally responsible for it. Really, you are just a medium, you just develop a facility for recognizing and picking up things and you just have to be ready to be there -- like being at a seance; they just plop out of the air. Whole songs just come to you, you don't write it. Songs come to me en masse. I didn't do anything except to happen to have been awake when it arrived."

Keith Richards of the ROLLING STONES quoted in Rolling Stone, no. 238 (May 5, 1977), p. 55.

Michael Jackson Dreamed Thriller into Existence

Just how it [Thriller] all came about is still a mystery to him – as is the creative process itself.

"I wake up from dreams and go, 'Wow, put this down on paper,'" he says. "The whole thing is strange. You hear the words, everything is right there in front of your face. And you say to yourself, 'I'm sorry, I just didn't write this. It's there already.' That's why I hate to take credit for the songs I've written. I feel that somewhere, someplace, it's been done and I'm just a courier bringing it into the world. I really believe that. I love what I do. I'm happy at what I do. It's escapism."

Michael Jackson quoted in Rolling Stone, no. 389 (February 17, 1983), p. 58.
