But the people who sang at half time are very big with the youth!

My own kids would never be caught dead with a Timberlake CD --- they're more into rock which is fine with me. I think pop music is pretty bad off right now --- worse than ever. My kids actually were watching the Superbowl and looking forward to the half time shows but apparently got bored in the first few minutes --- they didn't have to see this desperate ploy --- they had wandered away from the tv.

I recall all those "free speech" and "censorship" cries way back when...I recall the outrage over the Dung Madonna, and the Mapplethorpe exhibits...I recall the flap over MTV years ago...

Now what do we have?

We have people saying it's a choice between the coarse half-time show on broadcast TV and Lawrence Welk...

That's just so much BS. Liberalism has degraded America in so many ways for so many years. I think it goes back to Betty Friedan--at least, that's the first I remember. Any good ideas liberals might ever have had have only contributed to decay.
