Books, Music, Media and the Message: Whats your take?

Over the years we have all heard stories of the rock song played backwards giving a demonic message, or what about the songs of the 60's that promoted sex, or how about rap songs that elicit violence? Who remembers Hestor Prinn from the Scarlett Letter? It seems like whenever a politician gets a bug up their butt, they want to censor the books we read and the music thats played. What about the media's input do they help or hurt? Is the music industries videos and songs promotion for violence and disrespect against women? Do the videos teach our young men that thug life is the glamorous life? Listen in and you decide, give us your feedback...
