Run DMC were far from the worst...they rapped about having fun, pretty girls, rappin' and mom's christmas cooking...
nothing nearly as wholesome as our parents music..lsd trips, smokin'dope, cheap sex,tuning in and dropping out, revolution.
and they wonder why the baby boomers are aptly described as "the Worst Generation"
Run DMC were very against what later happened to rap music, the violence, drugs etc. They made a point never to use profanity or racial slurs in their records. they wanted the kids who bought their music to have a good time and that was it...
IMHO, they should be singularly credited with reviving the careers of Aerosmith (their rap version of "Walk This Way" is a classic).
Speak for YOURSELF. My parents never listened to trashy music like you mentioned. My dad's favorite song was HOW GREAT THOU ART. I am almost 52 and during college in the late 1960s, early 1970s, I registered to vote REPUBLICAN and voted for Nixon. Remember President Bush is from my generation. Many of us were decent, went to college, got jobs, got married, had kids, in that order. The ones you mentioned are not the majority of my generation -- they are now the liberal democrats running the Demoncrazy party! Don't you realize that there are many conservatives from the Baby Boomer generation????? Your comment would be like my saying (untruthfully) that all teenagers are delinquent rotten kids. My kids are 18, 19, and 21 and they are very conservative, too, not bad kids! I am a law abiding, conservative, honest, patriotic, pistol totin, Bible thumpin, America lovin, apple pie bakin, God fearin Baby Boomer!
