Yeah, it's amazing what a few million dollars will do.

Maybe. I can't begin to tell you the number of times I've looked up the lyrics to a Roy Orbison tune to find out what "is actually being said." Don't even get me started on Gene Pitney.

I swear, if you substitute the word "Rock" for the word "Rap", that I am back in 1958 and can hear my late, great mom using the same statement.

I promised I would never berate my kids or grandkids music. Although I'm not a Rap fan, I've heard some that is entertaining and even humorous.

Don't like the profane ones, but remember what the term "Rock & Roll" meant in early R&B music.

Good point, Nonie I hadn't thought of it that way! Just seeing the beltlines being pushed down beneath the bellies (and not just in The Villages) is bad enough.

Why can't people just "lighten up" on the music that is played? I don't care for rap myself but would not walk out if it were being played. I would listen to one song but if it were continuous...that's another story.
My husband is a local DJ and gets a lot of comments when certain songs get played. You can't please all of the people all of the time!

give them 6 months and they will be robbing a liquor store to support their crack habit. Only being facetious, but it can lead to no good in my opinion.
