"Being young gives people the excuse to be rude, offensive, nasty, and immature in public?"

No, being at a rock concert gives people the excuse to remove the stick out of their butt's and enjoy themselves though. If you view it as rude, offensive.. etc. then too bad, it wasn't designed to impress you.

you said; "This is acceptable public behavior?"

At a rock concert, yes. If you don't like that sort of thing I would advise you to stay way from rock concerts, including inaugural rock concerts.

you said; "This is what we want to teach our children?"

You should probably teach your children at home and at school, and make sure they learn good manners and decency BEFORE they are old enough to go to rock concerts. If they haven't learned these things by then, it is too late anyway, rock concert or no rock concert.

Whatever you do, DO NOT send your children to rock concerts to learn morals and decency! (One would think this would be obvious, but apparently not.)

I would like for you to examine your logic. Are you saying that there has never been any such thing as enjoying oneself at a musical performance before the "F word" and profanity was included into a show? Profanity and having a good time have nothing in common, and I challenge anyone to prove any relationship between the two.

I don't know about you, but I can have a perfectly enjoyable time without including vulgarity into the mix. Same can be said for me under age 30, and under age 20. I have been to plenty of rock concerts at which people were having a great time, and not one profanity was uttered, and not one sexually explicit sight was included.

Your argument does not hold water.

Agreed, but this particular show featured Hillary Duff, a performer especially popular with the "tween" crowd. Her programs on the Disney Channel are aimed at children. This event was specifically held for the YOUTH. I have never heard such a thing as an "adult youth".

As much as I disagree with the "It Takes A Village" message of Hillary Clinton, I believe it is necessary for a society to set good examples for its youth, and all people should act responsible around children. Having Duff on a show that included bands using vulgar language does nothing but send mixed messages to children, and to parents.
