(quote )"My son the punk rocker writes songs for the specific purpose of offending people, and then he's taken aback when people are offended or repulsed."

Well I suppose we can all thank the degenrate celebrants "Sex Pistols" for making the next wave of Punk all the rage.

(quote) " Yes, lyrics can offend people.... ...On the other hand, causing offense with lyrics may be a good way to get people thinking."

If only actual intellecual processes were in evidence , let alone addressed , in the screed-scrawl that passes for lyrics in Thrash-Rap & Gangstah Rap ,the next devolutionary slide down. Sorry ,but inciting anger and agression feeds on all of this and the culture of local politics , however eloquently or truthfully sung , is where it begins.

Those that have done so honestly have to reflect and take into account how much of this method has been corrupted purely for the *sake* of getting an audience's reptilan *rocks off* as an end in itself.

To misquote one famous ( and *knighted* ) graduate from the Royal School of Economics. " Iiiiii know....It's only horroshow but I like it ,like it, Yes I do".
