It appears that there are many music Entertainers that become very rich thru promoting immorality and rebellion to their listeners ... and particularly to our young children . Im wondering how we as a Nation got to this point of making such 'Entertainers' a financial success . What do you think ?

Yes he was. So because its not a new thing, does that make it more palatable , permissable , and of no concern ? Because its so widespread, should we just be apathetic ? We had ELvis gyrating his hips and doing hip-thrusts back then, we had Micheal Jackson grabbing his crotch and thrusting in the cameras face while on stage, today we have GaGa / Spears / Maddona/Timberlake/ Rhianna/West / and all the other reprobate minds promoting immorality and rebellion thru their lyrics and dressing like whores on stage and in public....what do u think will be the next pushing of the proverbial envelope that the brainwashed American public will get apathetically used to ? What new heights of indecency do you think these present 'Entertainers' and future Ones will go to ? Can u list a couple ?

Well, this is the reason why the Muslim world hates America. When I was a kid in the early 90's, Snoop Doggy Dogg was our idol. We were only ten years old listening to a former L.A. Crip member ex-felon, who was accused of first degree murder at the time, spit rhymes about sexing hoes, drinking liquor, smoking weed and shooting people. Jay-Z, one of the richest men in America, got rich rhyming stories about being a big-time NYC drug dealer and degrading women to an obscene footnote. Hip Hop, in itself, was an extremely low-budget movement that reflected the harsh socially disorganized and impoverished conditions of African American inner cities across the country in the post-Civil Rights era of Reaganomics, stagnant wages, de-industrialization of our manufacturing cities, sharp recessions every decade and the advent of crack cocaine.

America's entertainment is toxic in many different forms as well. America is the world's number one producer of pornography; another shameless all-American past-time that has engulfed the nation in the internet age. People like Jenna Jameson and Ron Jeremy would not be famous in a Muslim country. If anything, all of this signifies that America has been in decline for quiet some time now. Our perversions are no different than the gluttony, sloth and excess of ancient Rome right before their civilization collapsed into flames.

I think.....if something offends you- don't watch it,be around it or spend too much time worrying about it.
Life is too short to spend much time on senseless worrying.

It really doesn't bother me. I mean, to each their own. If you don't like Gaga & her outfits, then don't watch. I like her music personally but her constant shock outfits sometimes bug me if only because I'm like "Does she EVER just sit around in yoga pants?" I've always liked Madonna, she was a ground breaker. I also love Pearl Jam & Foo Fighters. There are plenty of bands/artists out there to choose from.
