The "Beast" was considered Satan. But I forgot about the shadowy figure on the back of the album that was supposedly a tribute to Satan which of course the band denied. They also went off on Fleetwood Mac and those crystal balls on the White album and Rumours and how the band was into the occult.
Here is a short clip that brought back the memories of Satan and Hotel California

People are just dumber than a bag of hammers.

Maybe part of the reason $tevie works my last nerve is - that I don't believe in fairy tales. I'm a realist, and an atheist. I need science and PROOF to believe in sh*t like that. I remember when I was about 10, after my parents had got divorced, and Mom was trying to raise me right. So we went to my Pentecostal preacher uncle's church for a couple of years. We ended up going to some revival one weekend. People around us were speaking in tongues, and they had snakes at the altar. My Mom and I looked at each other like, "what the F*CK are we doing here?" We got up and left, and never went back. Religious people scare the f*ck out of me!
