[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 17557, member: 1991"] slsh, you said, " He's been crabbing because I won't let him start Catholic convert classes while he's in current Residential Treatment Center (RTC)" Does this mean convert classes FROM RC, or to it? My kids are into stuff like Korn, Rob Zombie and Rammstein. I can listen to one or two tracks and then my mind starts to rebel. I looked up Rammstein lyrics, since people had expressed concern - it's actually very clever stuff (although dark). It's almost completely in German (a very effective language for dark, Gothic heavy metal stuff) but it's loaded with double meaning. I know there are often concerns expressed about dark music leading to dark crimes, but it's chicken and egg stuff. A lot of otherwise nice, normal kids are into some dark music. But the kids who do bad stuff - they're often into it as well. But the music didn't cause it, any more than rock 'n roll caused teens in our era to rush off and have illicit sex. Do any of you remember how your parents reacted to music and fashions when you were in your teens? I sure do. It's embarrassing to remember that my mother thought Simon & Garfunkel were irresponsible hoodlums and talentless nobodies. I knew she liked close harmony so I had persuaded her to watch a TV special back in 1970. Instead of even listening to it she complained about their 'antics' (they were in a recording studio, nodding in time to the beat and watching each other to stay in sync musically). Then she walked out of the room. A year or two later she head their music on the radio and asked who that wonderful duo was, and wouldn't believe me when I said it was the pair she had labelled "irresponsible hoodlums". "Oh no ,this music is MUCH nicer." It was the same song she'd walked out on two years earlier. Marg [/QUOTE]
