“All over the radio” does not mean all teenagers will tune into those stations.

No, my daughter doesn't listen to talk radio, but the radio stations she does listen to: country, old rock, and Christian rock and rap bands...don't play songs with those sorts of lyrics either.

When she was younger,I bought her the CDs of artists she liked,even though I didn't care for them, as long as the lyrics were acceptable.

I'm sure she hears the crap. She might even listen to some of it, when she is away from our home.

But I give a lot of credit to her youth group pastor for tackling the topic head on, and reinforcing what I said at home. Music is beautiful and can alter your mood. Why purposely choose to listen to ugly, demeaning or depressing lyrics?

We’re still working our daughter in that direction. We’ve all but banned hip hop in the house, and she knows not to play it. Thankfully she primarily listens to country. Lately she’s been trying some of the Christian rock.

Her 30-year old dad prefers Sinatra and George Strait. I hope it eventually rubs off. :)

Seriously, Sinatra was so much better than these clowns running around today.
