Heat Wave Burning in My Heart
Although fall is here and it is getting cold outside, it will be hot during the rapture.
According to Blondie, during the Rapture, the Man from Mars, wearing a white suit and white top hat, turns you into a zombie
"And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercurys and Subarus
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
Then, when there's no more cars
You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet."
So apparently, during the rapture, the man from Mars comes down and shots you in the head. After being shot, you turn into a pseudo zombie that eats cars, specifically, fancy cars- Cadillacs and Lincoln Town Cars. Then, after you eat all cars in America, you go out to bars to dance with people. Actually, the man from mars in the video is a man named William Barnes. He choreographed all his own dance moves for the "Rapture" video.
So, how does Blondie suggest one save oneself during the rapture? Blondie finds salvation in the beat. During "Rapture" Blondie lavishes her praise on Grand Master Flash.
Blondie exclaims, " Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's high/ DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind / Flash is fast, Flash is cool"
Grand Master Flash also saw New York City disenigrating around him in the early 80s. But rather than thinking that the apocalypse was near, Grandmaster Flash thought that everyday life was a jungle.
Out of Curiosity: What pops up when you search for "the rapture" in youtube... (This video is insane. Straight up insane and horrifying. The rapture is not coming anytime soon.)
Repeat: the video above is insane. Bad things happen all the time but people keep on living. For instance, WE channel (Women's Entertainment Channel) aired a story on on a recent show, 20/20 on WE, about a hairdresser turned detective. Through a series of random events, the hairdresser uncovered that her husband of 13 years was a psychopath killer; to get even, she quit her job as a hairdresser to become a full time detective. She found the evidence and brought her husband to justice for a murder that he committed 20 years earlier.
Anyway, the point of this story is that the lady in the WE Channel segment says in the interview that bad stuff happens to people all the time. Instead of getting sad, the hairdresser turned detective instructs people to believe in themselves and keep pushing forward or some shit like that. Not only do you have to push it, but Salt 'N Pepper advise people to push it real good.
Everyone would agree that you have to push it. Keep pushing forward at all costs.

The rapture has come to the mediascape. What do people really think they are constructing when they mix tv news and action disaster flicks?
Is it an argument, in their world, to simply reference thematically similar material with no consideration of its source?
