***Fire by Nite*** **(Episode 7) - The Truth About Rock** is an episode of "Christian *Saturday Night Live*" about the evils of rock music, featuring a Christian rock band.

### **Opening Phrase**

Where each week we sample another selection from Christian cinema, because if you hear it often enough, you *do* go fuck yourself eventually.

### **How Bad Was It?**

Well, if you love Christianity's list of invisible enemies, but it hasn't yet extended to reverb and electric guitars, you will *love* this episode.

### **Best Worst**

* Heath: …YouTube algorithm. [Jordan Peterson's "You Must Stand Up Against Woke Ideologies
* Noah: …temper tantrum. [Watch the episode.]
* Eli: …unhinged rant in defense of your barely palatable Christianity. [10% of the Mylon interview.]

### **Notes**

* The rest of the series was *not* lost in the mists of time, and most of its ninety-one-episode ten-year run is still available, including the previously reviewed "Episode 1 - "Peer Pressure"" and "Episode 3 - "Rebellion".
* The book Noah mentions in his *Breakfast Club* close is (with, criminally, no Oxford comma) *Death by a Thousand Lies: My Cover Up, My Crash and My Resurrection from Sexual Addiction* (2017). He also has an extensive series of "Little Black Books", such as *Little Black Book on Sex and Dating* (2002), *Little Black Book on Cool* (2002), *The Big Black Book for Parents (2005),* The Little Black Book of Hard to Find Information *(2006), and more.*

### **Jokes**

* [Eli: There's no *logical* way to *hate* rock and roll music, so he's like "I know! You're upset about the… time signature?"] [Noah: Yeah, right!] [Heath: Right! Yeah. And then he lands on, like—the message is "God only cares about the effort, the faithful *effort* of the music."] [Noah: Yes. Yes.] [Heath: And that's so perfect, because Christian music is the "effort grade" of the artform of music.] [Eli: Sure is. Sure is.] [Noah: Isn't it though.] [Eli: The participation trophy of the arts if ever there was one.] Noah: [Yeah.]

### **Interstitials**

* Writer's Room Meeting (5:24)
* Blaine's Opening Monologue (31:48)
* Ignoring a Serious Injured Clarence (1:02:27)
* Heath Calls Out Eli (1:34:11) [Post Credits]

### **Tropes**

* Boss in a Bit Part
* Christians Don't Know How the World Works
* Dollar in the Swear Jar
* Indoctrination of Children
* Looks Like…
* Not Christian Enough
* Pearl Clutching
* RACISM!

### *Breakfast Club Close'*

* Heath: Evil cousin Brian and the rest of the family are still just sitting there motionless in sitcom timeout universe.
* Noah: Blaine Bartel would go on to publish a book about his "deadly descent into the secret sexual underworld of America."
* Eli: Mylon LeFevre realised his name was "Mylon" not "Myron" at the age of sixty-eight, saying "Are you guys *sure*? That's not even a name."
