I'm getting tired of music getting the blame for what people do. In the 1980's, bands
like Judas Priest, KISS, AC/DC, and Ozzy Osborne were "evil" they were currupting the youth
of the day. Well, I listened to all of those bands, and I have yet to kill anyone, or myself.
Why? because my parents taught me respect, respect for others, and myself. Now, I listen to Marilyn Manson,
KMFDM, White Zombie, Metallica, etc., and I still don't have the desire to kill anyone, or
myself. So, if I may quote KMFDM, "Let's stop looking for someone to blame, and start blaming
ourselves". Don't blame the music, its just art, and art isn't always a literal expression.
Do you think Britney Spears wants to you to smack her around when she says, "Hit me baby one
more time"? I don't think so.
