But then they couldn't have had rap and hip hop in the show.

I love most kinds of music, from rock to jazz to classical, but I have yet to understand the appeal of this crap. About 25 years ago, I was walking next to Trinity Church, in the Wall Street area of NYC. I saw a young Black kid carrying a boom box (on his shoulder) that was the size of an aircraft carrier. The noise emanating from this device was peculiarly obnoxious. It consisted of a monotonous bass line, repeated ad nauseum, and a male voice talking ("rapping") over the bass, discussing his various sexual adventures. Apparently, this must be played loud enough to rattle nearby windows in order to achieve the proper effect. I wandered up to my office, shaking my head, and describing this new fad. I predicted a life expectancy for the genre of three to five weeks. Fortunately, I did a little bit better with my prognosticating as a stock trader.

Speaking of stocks.... Buy hearing aid stock! Can you imagine how common they'll be when these punks kids reach their thirties??

Damned! Never have an RPG on hand when it would be appropriate.

I agree with you. I thought one rap song was enough. They all sound alike. I heard a few seconds of Kid Rock and flipped the channel.

We should be judged by our culture...and lack of it.

The artistry of one's music is generally in inverse proportion to the volume at which it is played.
