This is something I've been researching into in my study of theology and Christianity. Jesus never lost control of himself, not once.

Two things:

(1) Whenever you ask yourself "What Would Jesus Do?", remember that crafting whips and overturning tables is within the parameters of the answer.

(2) As far as music being demonic and whatnot, Jesus had a potent and penetrating insight to offer: "It is not what goes into a man that makes him unclean, but what comes out of him." This was not just a reflection on Talmudic dietary laws, it was also a very powerful psychological observation: it's what you do that defines you, not what music you consume.

That said, music itself is a powerful persuasion tool, particularly in support of congregations; read your Cialdini on this one.
