> So are America's black youth - they don't even had bad fathers - they have tv and rap music. Uh, so did I. Not to mention rock music. Think Led Zeppelin, CSNY, and the Eagles, hell even Steely Dan, are good influences on a kid? I spent endless hours listening to bands like that when I was growing up. I did not end up a cokehead or tearing up hotel rooms. And hell, a lot of rap music is a pretty damned positive influence and/or a story of what it's like to grow up poor and black -- rap.genius.com Some of it is pretty damned obnoxious -- the materialism and the sexism piss me off, but, those are pretty heavy in rock music too. -Z
