I have a son (11 years old) that is listening the 'top 20' music stations. I noticed that the lyrics in many of the songs are 'bleeped' so I decided to find out what the songs were saying. I was shocked, disturbed and disgusted. Take a few minutes to read the lyrics of Ridin' by Chamillionaire, Snap Yo Fingers by Lil Jon, Lean Wit It Rock Wit It by Dem Franchize Boyz, It's Goin' Down by Yung Joc and Shake That by Eminem. In brief every one of the songs contains profanity, drug use, guns, sex and violence. Is this what we want our young children exposed to? The music is played everywhere, amusement parks, skating rinks, dances, and parties (for middle schoolers) hosted by the SCHOOL!
I am an absolute believer in free speech however we all have to be aware of what type of music is available to our children. I felt was important to get the word as a warning to those who may not know.
