You mean the free concerts like the Philly Pops?
I guess not everyone is as principled as you are. Maybe you can climb down from your high horse and tell us how we should all live.
Then again maybe that is the point of the article isn't it? That we are not all as Godlike as you and that the popular culture does effect more people than your highmindedness.
Then again like most holier-than-thou people you are probably nothing more than a hypocrite - and vocal one at that.
Personally I'll stick with what Tremoglie says and you can go live in your own little world with its high road and principles. Just remember your principles when you ask someone to take care of you when you are sick or fix your plumbing or clean your streets for you or collect your trash you better make sure that they only listen to Christian music or Country music. Because more than likely they listen to Elton John or Blackeyed Peas.
Oh yeah the ELton John and Blackeyed Peas fans vote too!!

Well, nice character attack, no facts, just knee-jerk attacks. It's Black Eyed Peas.
You didn't even bother to check my profile. I'm an Ayn Rand objectivist. I refuse to listen to Christian music (a tendency with atheists/non-believers like myself). And I like some country music, though not when it's preachy or depressing. Rock, Jazz, Classical, some Rap, Alternative, Punk, Electronica, Trance, and most of the musical genre work for me.
What on earth does being sick, hiring a plumber, street cleaning, garbage collecting have to do with the corruption of most African countries?
Regarding principles, I will go to a doctors, plumbers, street cleaners, and garbage collectors that will: diagnose and cure, repair the plumbing, clean the streets, and collect and dispose refuse in a lawful manner, respectively. Why? Because those that have principles actually do their jobs!
Miami Vice, try a dictionary next time. Principles are not a Christian (or any religion) owned phrase. Neither are ethics, morals, honesty, or integrity.
Here some help:

A rule or standard especially of good behavior
"a man of principle"; "he will not violate his principles"

To paraphrase William Shakespeare: "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
Was there a point to your rant? Non-sequiturs are not useful. Got anything more concrete?
