They did. I remember my parents’ reaction to the Ed Sullivan show the first time the Beatles appeared. Not complimentary.

Nevertheless rap “music” has earned its negative reputation. It didn’t start that way. Remember M.C. Hammer and “Can’t Touch This”? Sort of pre-rap, maybe. But rap as evolved (devolved?) into an art form where things like abuse of women, drug use, crime, etc. etc. are glorified. Rap has in effect become the anthem of people that I and many others I know want nothing to do with.

I know this didn't happen because I didn't read about it in the Daily Sun!

Is it’ ok to ridicule another human being because they feel fearful about something in America without knowing what they have been through. I like to hear comments from people who validate one another’s feelings.
Be kind to one another . Shine our light in others darkness . It will be a better world for all of us .

Loud music from Spanish Springs after 10:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m

The parking lot behind Kilwins in Spanish Springs Town Square was overflowing Friday night with about 100 young adults who were blasting very loud music. They would play the music real loud—loud enough to make its way clear across into the Historic Side, and make it sound like it came from the dog park by the bridge over the highway. After a couple of minutes, they then shut it down for a few minutes, and then start over. Around 1:30 a.m the music stayed on, and after investigating, a scene similar to what we had seen on the news of Panama City Beach and Miami Beach during spring break was occurring. The young adults were throwing trash, drinking, and just causing a ruckus. A single Lady Lake officer was asked if he didn’t hear the loud music, and he responded that as soon as he starts chasing the group, they run away, so he was going to call for backup. He blamed the unruly crowd on Margarita Republic serving alcohol until 2:00 a.m. I think we all need to call the Lady Lake Police, Lake County Sheriff, and the Lady Lake Mayor and The Villages Community Watch and tell them they need to nip this in the bud, or we're going to have a mess in our SS parking lots every weekend.

Apparently you only read the Daily Sun. The Lady Lake Poice Chief is proposing closing the bars at midnight because of the constant trouble at the joints open after 12 AM.

Republic would be foolish enough to get known as a place that serves minors...would seem to be self-defeating for an open air bar right on the square ! But, only an opinion !

Can’t wait (not) for the spring breakers to find TV and have them descend on us like the do in Miami. Just a few thousand happy young folks.

They had that in Royal a few years ago, though not spring break.

WILDWOOD — A Tampa woman was killed and a Tampa man arrested Sunday after a mass shooting at a Father’s Day block party in central Florida sent hundreds of people running for their lives, the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office said.

In all, 11 people were shot at the Father’s Day celebration – an annual tradition for residents of the Royal Park community that’s held each year on private property in the Wildwood area, northwest of Orlando.

Well i for one know exactly what type of music the poster is talking about because i live in panama City FL and hear that type of music non stop during spring break. I can't really call it music though. it's all about killing the po po and raping girls and every other word is the f word. And yes it is goes hand and hand with violence here. The bikers have loud music but it is old rock and roll or hair bands which does not offend anyone.

This isn't the '70s.

Today, rap music is THE most American music. Everywhere, all the time. Get used to it, the boomer days are OVER.

If you don't like it you are free to move to Russia.

"do you equate Rap music with violence?"

/QUOTE]


I suggest you look up the latest FBI statistics.

According to the US government, about 4.5% (1 in 22) of black US males have, or will commit a murder.

Let's see how long this factual post lasts vs. your fantasy.

I didn't hear about any violence associated with the loud Rap music, so evidently, your fear was misplaced.

I don't blame you for being annoyed at being disturbed at that hour. I hate hearing loud music of any kind at ridiculous hours. I don't particularly like it in the daytime either. There are noise ordinances for a reason. It distresses me that it is so difficult to get them enforced.

Did you call law enforcement?
