As a parent myself, I can somewhat see your point here.

My argument is simple: it's not the responsibility of the government, the artist, or the stations to censor anything.

The parent has a responsibility - not to necessarily censor at all times, but to explain the messages of these artists to the child/children in a manner they can best understand and a manner you can best phrase.

If you are unable to do so, then my dad said it best - there's an ON/OFF switch for a reason.

The world is full of things that have always pushed the envelope, since the beginning of time - some good, some bad. Freedom of speech comes with an inherent responsibility by both the one talking and the one listening.

The one talking must accept the consequences of their actions and words, and the one listening must be reasonable enough to decide for themselves whether they want to hear it or not (children or no children).

The world will not stop turning, nor will each generation avoid turmoil and/or rebellion to coddle children or those with sensitive moral grounds, as honorable or well-intentioned as they might be.

My advice is to be open and be willing to explain the message in the music to the best of your ability, or simply change the channel until a better time/place to explain makes itself known.

haha. Interesting Read.

I know of a couple people going to warped next week, I'm thinking of tagging along. If I do, I'll definitely be checking out her set, just for kicks.
