Before my time, but weren't people outraged at a guy named Elvis not too long ago?

It wasn't before my time, and I remember it very well. I mean, that man was up on stage shaking his hips and everything. Our young people (like me) shouldn't have had to see that. Who knows what it would lead to?

Before Elvis, it was Frank Sinatra, and I'm sure before him it was that awful jazz music.

Adults always think that their kids are going to Hell in a handbasket, and that the cause is those awful musicians or actors playing some sort of Satanic music.

Well, my folks' generation did OK. My generation did OK, and I'll bet today's generation does OK, too.

Yes, and the fact that Kid Rock would even be considered entertainment sought after by youth and condoned by many adults shows how far we've sunk since Elvis.
