My daughter and her friends listen to that rap crap. Keep in mind that she's a cornfed country girl, rasied in sunshine, fresh air, and a stable home. She cannot identify with the themes of the "music" at all! She's a good student, reads constantly, and has a pretty good grasp of the English language. I was just talking to her about how I can't understand why seeing the names of some of her favorite musical (again, I don't call it that) performers...Timbaland, Ludacris, and songs like "Stickwitu" don't make her crazy! Actually, Ludacris is probably the most accurate name in the genre...now if he could just learn to spell it! For the record, it's L-U-D-I-C-R-O-U-S and means laughable.
Beyond rap, my list of dislikes is junk (although,that's all I can afford), stupidty, incompetence, and unruly children.
For the record, I kind of like Spam (the canned kind) fried up with mustard on it...
