It's up to the artist to get his message thru, not the audience. That's what art is. It is impossible to understand everybody else, and there is no ethic that he have to. Every generation has its poets and marks its own time.

<<if i did have kids, i would ABSOLUTELY encourage them to listen to this stuff. >> I suppose you'd also encourage them to watch pro wrestling, and you'd be right there with them, explaining the subtle nuances and societal import of each move, and what everything means so that they truly understand.

>> i think it's funny that "American Beauty," the brilliant movie about the reality that many families in america live through... << most families live next door to an outwardly nazi but secretly repressed homosexual maniac killer? most kids have a father who gets so fed up with his wife and homelife that he rebels by smoking pot? most kids have a father who leers at their daughter's teen-age best friend and almost sleeps with her as she lays topless in front of him? >> it is critically acclaimed. it is actually not much different from the types of messages that rappers send, but American Beauty came across in a much less threatening/offensive manner so people were able to digest it. << of course american beauty was critically acclaimed. of course it won five oscars including best picture. it was a dreamworks skg film, which is of course run by three jewish media moguls--spielberg, katzenberg, and geffen who are worth billions. it was produced by bruce cohen, another jew. jews run hollywood (even some jews will admit this), and much else in america, so of course they decide who gets critical acclaim and who doesn't.
