"I didn’t realize there was a modern song using the same line. My teenagers use headphones ... and even when they don’t, I can’t understand most of the words, anyway. (They say they can’t understand, either.)"

Ah, here you have the insidious secret of their marketing strategy. Before you can decipher the words, you have to listen, and listen, and listen several more times, until you can puzzle out all the words of the song.

By the time you realize that this garbage is something you really don't want in your brain, it's far, far too late.

Thus the kids brainwash themselves. That zombie look is there for a reason.

I don’t have any kids but sometimes when you read the words of what you’re listening to, you won’t want to listen to it again.

We have rules about what CD’s they can buy. Anoreth picked up a “Motley Crue” CD at the neighborhood yard sale recently, and I made her take it back.

I don’t think they hear the words, mostly. The instrumentation is such deafening noise that they can’t! I figure that if it’s “Christian” heavy metal, the message they can’t decipher is some kind of religious-y, anyway. At least not about sex or drugs!

(If it was up to me, we’d have nothing but classical and folk, but their Dad approved the rock thing ... besides, bluegrass is loaded with murder ballads of the most graphic sort!)
