“Highway to hell was the nickname for the canning highway in australia. It runs from where lead singer bon scott lived in fremantle and ends at the pub called “the raffles”, which was a big rock and roll drinking hole in the ‘70s.”
So the canning highway has “no stop signs, speed limits” as described in the song?
“Hey Satan, paid my dues...”
Who is that supposed to represent.... the traffic cop?
Then the singer says he is headed to the “promised land”, followed by the next line, where he says he is “on the highway to hell”.
My youngest brother was an ac/dc fan way back, and admitted to me that he avoided listening to that song. He knew the words to it. I only listened to it a couple of times. Heard enough to know it wasn’t something that a Christian would embrace. What’s bad for the weak, is not good for the strong.
Music is effective at affecting rational; even distracting common sense. Many pulpit pimps use music to back up their emotional pleas to the listeners; whether it be a direct plea for giving money, or making a commitment of self (that may lead to a giving of money at a later date).
The moral of the story: don’t let music drug you, bro.
