being fair, it is a parents 'job' to look out for their children...
to me the bands you mention are not great corrupters, but there are some that are IMHO...its not the style of music that matters, but the lyrics and what they promote...
I remember my father telling me that the stuff I played on guitar sounded like it was 'coming out of a meat grinder'...dillhole..he was also the type to only allow me to take classical guitar lessons (that didn't last long, and luckily my teacher was a blues guitarist..he was totally kewl and gave me enuf info on classical to fake out my father, and taught me some good blues stuff)..basically my father was, and is, and fascist control freak (we no longer talk, and probably never will again)
The_Point being that doing a parent's job often calls for walking the razor's edge...its a fine line between different tastes, and appropriate censorship...
I will totally stand behind my opinion that when it comes to general sounds/styles of music, a parent has NO right to censor, but when it comes to 'evil' lyrics, then perhaps they do... |
