• One of Brazil’s top culture officials is waging war on rock’n’roll, claiming rock bands are causing abortions and Satan worship.
  • Dante Montovani, who heads Brazil’s National Arts Foundation, recently made a YouTube video claiming “Rock music leads to drugs, which leads to sex, which leads to abortions”.
  • Mantovani then took it one step further, claiming that “the abortion industry feeds into something much more serious, which is Satanism”.
  • Even stranger, while Mantovani called out rock legends like John Lennon and Elvis Presley, he says Metallica is okay to listen to “when you’re driving in traffic”.
  • Did you ever fight with your parents over rock music growing up?  Why do you think Mantovani is okay with Metallica?
