From what I've heard, some of the language on them is outrageous.
But, the only rap music I've really heard is what I hear blasting out of a car on my short walk to work. But even that short exposure I heard all kinds of words that were much worse than what Don Imus said. I've never listened much to Howard Stern either, but when he got heat he just went over to satelite radio and kept on talking. Apparently Imus brought in 10 million dallars a week for MSNBC, so he'll probably go over to satelite as well, where he belongs. How do they get away with playing those rap songs on the radio? Or, maybe it was a CD that I heard playing. If so, how do they get recorded, and what does Jesse and Al have to say about that? Come to think of it, I don't listen to Jesse or Al in church either, so I probably missed their comments on that too. But, as long as I'm making comments - how could anyone sit through three hours of Grindhouse? I mean, I almost got a headache watching Lord of the Rings. Go figure. Well, I guess I'm really getting old - but I liked Finding Nemo. Bought the Cars DVD and I've watched it three times. Go figure. I've got an awesome stereo system (vintage Yamaha separates with chips, not, ICs) with a great turntable and a Stanton moving coil cartridge, four rebuilt Ohm Acoustic speakers stacked. My Yamaha Amp puts out 150 watts of natural sound per channel and since I live in a farm house, I can really crank it. Most of the time I play vinyl hits like Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble and sometimes I put on Jimi or Peter Gabriel. Sometimes Fleetwood Mac or an old Ledd side. Yesterday I played a Crystal Gale tape. No time for Imus in the morning - no time for Howard in the evening. I guess I'm a square. That's about all I have to say about shock jocks today.
