The Church of the Ecstatic presents:
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…)
