So there’s a down side to working with the devil? #classicrock #rollingstones #sympathyforthedevil #satire #mcsweeneys

McSweeney's @mcsweeneys.net · 22d

Now, the opening line, you have:

🎶 "Please allow me to introduce myself.
I’m Satan. Hello there!" 🎶

I wonder if that gives away the game a little bit early. Maybe just keep the first sentence?

“Thanks for all the success you’ve granted me and the lads, Luci. Must say we were surprised that you didn’t want our souls in return, just a chance to write...

I’m addicted to reactions from musicians (usually rappers) listening to music they’re not familiar with or ever heard.
Especially 1960’s and later.
