Agree. All reference to sex, violence, and substance abuse must be censored immediately. It is the only morally correct course of action.

And, I must say, I listen to 2-3 hours of music a day and I'm pretty sure that I don't hear 30,000 references to substance abuse in a year. Kids should quit listening to awful mainstream rap.

Society today needs to bring back product jingles as a form a perfomance art.

Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.

Ya see, the kids today, they listen to the rap music which gives them the brain damage. With their hippin' and their hoppin'and their bippin' and their boppin'. So they don't know what the jazz is all about.

daneurysm:their bippin' and their boppin'.

"He's be-boppin' and scattin' and I'm losing it!"

Please kids, do yourself a favor and put the rap down.

I'm listening to VU as I read this thread and lol'ing.

Great headline. Now, let's roll another number, for the road...

My stepson asked me to buy him 'Soul Survivor' by someguy.

I purposely downloaded the spanish dance remix for him.

/legally, it was the best 99 cents I've ever spent.

It could always be worse.

I don't smoke pot, but that doesn't stop me from having "Pass the Marijuana" on my iTunes.

It's just damn good reggae, mon.

We could go and get 40s

I don't drink, but who am I to question The Strokes?

First person to name the song gets a cookie.

DUN NANANA NA NA

DUN NANANA NA NA

TEQUILLA!

Now where's my cookie?

"Pass me the green I need some weed with my hennessey.."

How many references to substance abuse is that? Does it count as 1 per substance?

"Follow me and do exactly what the song says:
smoke weed, take pills, drop outta school, kill people and drink
And jump behind the wheel like it was still legal"

And how much references to farking?

/Just asking.

Oh yeah, at least teens are learning the metric system?

Pfft, the Clipse mixtape I just downloaded probably has 30,000 drug references on it alone. Step your drug game up kids.

Any music that relies on drug references sucks just because they can't think of real lyrics.

So, someone under 15 or older than 18 listening to the same music for the same amount of time will hear a different number of references?

I'd like to know the technology behind this.

"When your mom and I were young we were poor. We used to smoke weeds and watch the radio"

Frankly speaking, are 30,000 drug references enough?

I think there needs to be more.

Laqst time I saw a teenager listening to "music," all I heard was:

BOOM! THUD! BOOM! BOOM! THUD! rattle. rattle.
BOOM! THUD! BOOM! BOOM! THUD! rattle. rattle.
BOOM! THUD! BOOM! BOOM! THUD! rattle. rattle.
BOOM! THUD! BOOM! BOOM! THUD! rattle. rattle.

I guess it's some kind of "code" for drug use?

/Youse kids turn that shiat down!
//Get off my lawn, too!

Good headline subby.

/Now I do not feel so all alone

You can't stop the beat!

When you're trying to be so good... (pops)

FTFA:"Parents play an essential role as well -- the music that children listen to is an importance choice, and parents are the first and most important teacher," Lamy said by e-mail.

THIS.

A MILLION TIMES THIS.

Does that count beer commercials?

2-3 hours a day? If I listened to the pablum kids these days are served up, I wouldn't make it 20 minutes.

I listen to at least 6-8 hours a day. So far, since I got home from work, DVDs of...
-Janis Joplin - The Kozmic Blues
-Zappa - Quaudiophliac
-Miles Davis - Copenhagen 1969
-and random tracks from Agnostic Front, Sabbath, Buckethead, and Ritchie Havens

/get off my eclectic lawn

FTFA: "Medical researchers have reviewed the words of the 279 top songs of 2005 to estimate just how common they are."

This was their first mistake.

"Seventy-seven percent of rap songs tracked in the study contained such references, along with 36 percent of country songs."

Good, the only genres piles of music crap I can't stand have seemingly more substance abuse than others. Break out the crack pipe.

/hates most mainstream music
//listens to music for the music

What was that dirty blues song from the 1930's?
"Gimme a reefer, and a bucket of beer..."?
Some fat black chick sang it.
Great song.
There ain't nothing new about it.

its true though...
EMO'S self harm because of music..
people take drugs because of music...
people kill people because of music...

moral of the story: good music taste = good life style


--before we go any further let me finish roling this spliff then we'll discuss the issue further


--smoke weed til the end--

Just discovered Billy Joel's Captain Jack so I'm getting tons more than that.

I hope they don't think of banning every song that has a drug, sex, or violence reference in it. That'd probably be about 85% of all music. And the people that banned it (people around 50 or higher)would be pissed cause almost every song before the 1980's is about some type of drug and/or sex.

BTW, I listen to music a good bit, but 2.4 hours a day?

Fill every glass for wine inspires us
And fires us with courage, love and joy
Women and wine should life employ
Is there ought else on earth desirous
Fill every glass for wine inspires us
And fires us with courage, love and joy

Fill every glass for wine unites us
And lights our good cheer and company
Music the food for heart and soul
Is there ought else so dear we hold
Fill every glass for wine unites us
And lights our good cheer and company

Fill every glass for wine inspires us
And fires us with courage, love and joy
Women and wine should life employ
Is there ought else on earth desirous
Fill every glass for wine inspires us
And fires us with courage, love and joy

Fill every glass for wine unites us
And lights our good cheer and company
Music the food for heart and soul
Is there ought else so dear we hold
Fill every glass for wine unites us
And lights our good cheer and company

We just smiled and waved...
Sittin' there on that sack of seeds.

So what is that number if you're a big Layne Staley fan?

Artificial red, smoke, poison consumed
In the House of Ill Repute
Is this the way I spend my days
In recovery of a fatal disease
...
What's My Drug Of Choice?
Well, What Have You Got?
I Don't Go Broke
And I Do It Alot
...
Candles Red I Have A Pair
Shadows Dancing Everywhere
Burning On The Angry Chair
Little Boy Made A Mistake
Pink Cloud Has Now Turned To Grey
All That I Want Is To Play
Get On Your Knees, Time To Pray Boy

What kind of moran takes his/her life philosophy from pop music, especially when it may lead to an unsavoury end? Perhaps it's just a convenient way of weeding the gene pool.

Don't wanna get stoned
Don't wanna get stoned
But I don't wanna not get stoned
I don't wanna not get stoned

Subby makes the common mistake with this classic Dylan tune.
Being stoned in this song is being literally that,(with stones) or being put upon or put down.
/get off my lawn too.

When I was that age, I listened to these two guys. A lot.



/met Tommy Chong a week before he was busted. Nicest guy ever.

She don't mind, she don't mind, she don't mind...cocaine.

I wouldn't pay twenty-five cents to go in nowhere 'cause listen here)
Up in Harlem ev'ry Saturday night when the high-browns git together it's just too tight,
they all congregates at an all night
strut
and what they do is tut-tut-tut
Old Hannah Brown from 'cross town gets full of corn (whiskey) and starts breakin' 'em down
Just at the break of day you can hear old Hannah say,
"Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer"
Send me gate
I don't care
I feel just like I wanna clown
Give the piano player a drink because he's bringin' me down
He's got rhythm, yeah!
When he stomps his feet, he sends me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
We gonna be rasslin' when the wagon comes
I wanna pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me 'cause I don't care
Slay me 'cause I don't care
Gimme a reefer and a gang o' gin
Slay me, 'cause I'm in my sin
Slay me 'cause I'm full of gin
Check all your razors and your guns
Do the
shim-sham shimmy
till the risin' sun

-Bessie Smith

Seven references to substance abuse in a single song! That's why the "Greatest Generation" had all those wars and stuff.

It's about pot, hence the name (Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35). 12 x 35 = 420. Nuff said
