I'm not even going to comment on any of the rest of this article. There may be a few valid comments among those that are invalid. However, beginning an article by thinking that John Lennon wrote :"I Saw Her Standing There" is probably not the best way to begin. Why would it be "Ill-advised" for Paul McCartney, a 19 year old at the time, to write a song about a 17 year old girl. Someone the same age as his girlfriend at that time? And if you think that's bad, this critic is really unimpressed with Chuck Berry and the Stones, etc. I bet she also hates "Baby It's Cold Outside." We need to have another old-fashioned record and book burning. Let's move closer to "Fahrenheit 451." Destroy the good along with the bad in the process. Yes, throughout time a lot of very questionable song lyrics have been written. But legislating morality and dictating to people what songs they should or should not listen to hardly seems very 1st Amendment-like to me. I'm not necessarily digging the new Puritanism.
