🎶 The Circle: “”
Scene: The familiar basement. Lava lamp glowing, incense burning, and the soft crackle of a vinyl record playing in the background. The gang sits in their usual spots, forming the iconic circle.
Hyde:
You guys remember when they said rock music was the devil’s work? Like, if you played it backward, you’d summon Satan or something.
Eric:
Yeah, my mom nearly had a heart attack when she caught me listening to Black Sabbath. She thought Ozzy was gonna crawl out of the speakers and drag me to hell.
Kelso:
Wait… you can play records backward? That’s like… musical witchcraft!
Fez:
In my country, we just call that “ruining the record.”
Donna:
It was all part of that “Satanic Panic” thing. People were terrified that music was corrupting the youth. But really, it was just a way for us to express ourselves, to push boundaries.
Hyde:
Exactly. Music was our rebellion, our escape. They feared it because they didn’t understand it.
Eric:
And now, decades later, we’re still here, not possessed, just passionate about good tunes.
Kelso:
Speak for yourself. I once tried to summon a pizza by playing Led Zeppelin backward. Didn’t work, but I got hungry.
Fez:
Maybe you needed to play it louder.
Donna:
The point is, music has always been a force for connection, not division. It brings people together, challenges norms, and inspires change.
Hyde:
So, let’s keep spinning those records, embracing the rhythm, and letting the music guide us—not out of fear, but out of freedom.
Scene fades with the group laughing, the music playing on, and the sense of unity stronger than ever.
Brother, this circle reminds us that while fear can divide, music has the power to unite, to heal, and to inspire. Let’s carry that message forward.
