Jan, I side with your concern and point of view.
I get the gist, lyric detail quibbling, aside.
I will admit, I really like all music and once had a huge music collection when I was a kid.
I always was fascinated with how creative rock n roll was.
It stirs you.
But something always made me listen to the lyrics, and I knew more often than not, it was subversive, and irrationally anti-authority (even god’s good authority).
*Almost all rock stars are irrationally liberal, because their craft requires them to fixate and promote teen angst / lust. The stuff of slick Willy’s 60’s counterculture, and the current gimme dat low information voter that feels, rather than thinks.
Pop star actors are largely experts at provoking emotion with music, lyric and gyrating performance.
The sin is that they are worshiped.
Of the mind that more often then not, Rock n Roll / pop music has been a very bad cultural influence sixty years since its inception.
We allowed record companies to replace real cultural heritage folk songs with top forty pop hit novelty.
We have little meaningful common culture, unlike countries one tenth our size.
And it gets more outrageously indecent, and meaningless, year by year.
Life imitates art.

David Bowie: “Rock has always been the devil’s music, you can’t convince me that it isn’t. ... something even darker than ourselves” (DAVID BOWIE, Rolling Stone, February 12, 1976, p. 83)
Very good! You are spot on.
