Irish Rebel (inactive) Post-Colorado Frenzy (No Joke) (95* d) RE: Post-Colorado Frenzy (No Joke) 24 Apr 99


There's one common thread that all of out Kids sew with, and so do we. Music........ As I watched my 14 year old son walk down the street heading for school the day after this Tragedy, I wondered what he would be subjected to simply by being forced to spend the day with Kids from all different backgrounds. We played a few songs together the night before, and I couldn't bring myself to even CONCIEVE what it would be like to lose him in a Senseless scenario such as the one in Colorado. He plays and sings all kinds of Music with me, and some of his Friends. They all Love Music, just like we did growing up, and still do today. Does this have alot to do with how we think and act? Damn right it does. Kids that listen to Gangsta Rap, and Marilyn Manson etc. have their heads filled with Cop Killing, and Drive By Drug Wars, and lots of other SICK images. It's no surprise that Kids who are ostracized from their peers, ignored by Parents and other Adults, with heads full of Sick and Violent images one day go "around the Bend" and vent in such Horrible ways. I don't have the answer, but I have one of the questions that may help us in starting to fix the problem....What can we do to use Music as a means to bring People of all ages and backgrounds together in Peace, instead of Violence? May God Rest their Souls, and the Hearts of the Loved Ones they left behind.........Slante.......
