What a timely article. The Grammy award winner for best song was "rehab" by Amy Winehouse...it is unrated on iTunes, easy access to kids of course.
It's one thing to parent, its another to fight glowing endorsements of substance abuse.
Rehab lyrics:
The man said, why you think you here?
I said, I got no idea
Im gonna, im gonna loose my baby
So I always keep a bottle near
Loverly.

i think that kids listen to music for the beat and really dont even care what the words are even if they do know them by heart.
because some music i listen to refers to substance abuse but does not mean i am out abusing drugs or having multiple sex partners i think substance abuse is a choice and it is our jobs as parents to educate them aboiut substance abuse and sex
