    In my 20s I was working at Time-Warner and had a copy of this album on my desk. A devoutly religious woman walked by and saw it and screamed. She kept saying, "That's evil! It's evil!" She went on and on. When I flipped the cover over and she saw the symbols on the reverse, she screamed again. "Those are evil! Those are satanic!" I tried to tell her no, it's more a world-music album. She insisted that it wasn't the "true Yahweh." Ahh, the good old days.
