The Church of the Ecstatic presents:
From 3 years ago…
“Y’all know the drill. Playing all music referenced in one way or another (usually in character names) in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. This time, we tackle Stardust Crusaders (part ONE – there’s a lot) My only rule is that I must play music made before the references were made – so tonight, it’s all from pre- 1989-1990.
I try to make them thematically… sorta relevant. XD
Each reference is listed under the song titles, trying not to be too spoilery! (for a 30 year old comic…)”
