Think about what's happening in Florida and a certain pastor who's in the news. It's 1954 and popular singing group The Mills Brothers provide a foreshadowing of things to come. Incredibly the song actually managed to get the name correct, even better than Nostradamus' Hister for Hitler prediction.
Here's what I mean, just look at these lyrics and tell me it isn't so. I suspect the word town is probably a metaphor relating to the entire world. There are other metaphorical references that require the skill of a genuine psychic to interpret correctly. All in all quite spooky, kind of gives me the heebie-jeebies. I think there's a whole missing genre of prognosticators such as songwriters and singers that require closer investigation.

THE JONES BOY (written by Vic Mizzy & Mann Curtis)
The Mills Bros. - 1954
The whole town's talking about the Jones Boy
The Jones Boy
The Jones Boy
The whole town's talking about the Jones Boy
He acts mighty peculiar now
The whole town's saying he was a good boy
a nice boy
a swell boy
The whole town's saying he's not a well boy
He just isn't the same somehow
he hops
he jumps
so merrily over the water pumps
he stops and then
he comes to a pump and he'll jump again
the buzz is over the fences
that he's going out of his senses
The whole town's talking about the Jones boy
the poor boy
the Jones boy
But I just happen to be the Jones boy
and I happen to be in love
