>When my step-kids visit, they bring some of that rap with them. My rule of the house about it is simple enough even for them to understand. "Play it and lose it." Last Christmas, we had over a dozen CDs hanging from our tree. It was the only thing I could find them good for. Or maybe as beer can coasters.

HA HA! Been there, but at least we're conscious of it, eh! OTOH I only complain at the teeny-bopper cr@p - they haven't got to the thrash stage yet. OTOH2 I'm fairly progressive and ecumenical in my taste anyway. But I can't stand kids' TV!

Re: rap. Whatever happened to the pleasant poems put to recycled music of our day, like the original: "Rappers' Delight", before the 'Ho's and Bitches, and poppin' caps got into it?
