I agree with you wholeheartedly, Rapaire. No one is going to convince me that the various media have not played a big role in it. Songs by their nature are a multi-media construct to 'feed' a multi-sensory receptor. Helping that is a decline [imo] in the 'old' nature of family relationships and even in the concept of what family IS. The pursuit of comfort and accessories to aid in its procurement have divided our societies because it has happened at the expense of family. The days when a disappointed look on an elder's face meant more and did more than the decisions of our courts seem to be done with, and that disturbs me very much. I don't know what it is that constitutes a healthy society, but I do know that this ain't it.
