When I was young - so long ago - we rebelled against our parents by playing the Beatles and Stones. The music was considered radical, offensive, salacious and just plain amusical. As much as rock was the music of a disenfranchised generation things always continue to move forward.
Flash forward to today. Many I speak with find rap to be radical, offensive, salacious and just plain...amusical. Sound familiar? Lots of my generation ( I'm approaching 60) have become their parents, at least musically speaking. No doubt the rap and hip-hop generation will be outraged by whatever follows. They can become their parents as well.
