(DR) About the statement about positive messages by the words and music. I think it is good, since a lot of people do have famous people that they try to act like. Music lyrics are one of the things that people copy. Of course, some people take the words and music as just songs. But it is better not to put stuff out that makes some think that drugs and violence are acceptable. DebbiR wrote: > Wow, there's someone else out in creedville!
