....'modern' songs with hateful lyrics which degrade women and promote violence.

There are songs from the past I would not sing in many venues, but would in certain places...with explanitory disclaimers. (songs with 'nigger' when it is done to illustrate the way things were) Raunchy songs do not offend me morally, but some are in such bad taste, poorly constructed, and just plain stupid excuses to bellow naughty words that I will NOT sing them...(a lot of Rugby..etc.. songs are only crude, and not a bit clever...so it sort of offends me that good raunchy songs are ignored in order to be as gross as possible...but that is not exactly what the thread is about)
