You may or may not be aware of Beck’s lifelong involvement with Scientology. You might not care. You might be afraid that you’ll be taken away in the night if you talk about it. Well, I’m not frightened!

The worldwide web might eventually prove to be the cult’s undoing, as more and more information about their manipulation techniques becomes available. And we all know how reliable a source of information the internet is.

Anyway, I found this incredibly comprehensive account (perhaps the only account) of Beck’s secret background. It’s long, it’s dense, but it deserves to be read.

Check it out:spooky stuff.

  1. I heard a rumor the other day that Scientology was started by L. Ron Hubbard on a bet from Ray Bradbury, who wagered $1 that Hubbard couldn’t start a religion that would attract followers.

  2. It’s not exactly music related, but since creepy religious cults are a hobby of mine, here’s a cool link about Scientology’s nefarious operations and shadowy history.http://www.xenu.net/You'll have to cut & paste — gasp!
