Ep03: Beating the Blues (1/1987)

Feeling low? Down in the dumps? Depressed? This Fire has got you covered! Join Steve and Alec as they subject themselves to episode 5 of ‘Fire By Nite’, and some of the…best…mental health advice the evangelical church of 1987 had to offer. Spoiler alert, your depression MAY be caused by direct influence from the Prince of Darkness™️ himself. Big yikes! But it’s not all bad news, we also sample the musical stylings of preeminent Christian rock band Petra, and even a music video from a little known artist, one Ms. Amy Grant. If that’s not reason to smile I don’t know what is - and remember, no matter how you’re feeling inside, you should at least try and smile. You’re prettier when you smile.This Fire is taking an in depth look at Fire By Nite - a Christian teen variety show produced at the height of the 1980s Satanic Panic.
