It actually raises a dilemma regarding children and music. There are a lot of good bands that have clean lyrics, except for one or two songs. I hear foul language regularly at work and I'm not too shy about using it either. So a swear word in a song doesn't particularly bother me, but I don't want my kids listening to it. I guess I'm at that stage in life when I need to set an example. No fun.

With Gidget and I moving we have been cleaning house. I had shoe boxes full of CD's that I haven't listened to in ages. So I decided to rip them onto our computer and then sell the discs. Made about $100 at FYE. So we took the money and a check from Costco to buy an 80GB Ipod to store everything. That said, as I was ripping CD's I was embarrassed by some of the CD's I owned and didn't even end up ripping half of them because they contained explicit lyrics or were so stupid and lame. One of them that I have to mention was the very first CD I ever owned. It was actually a birthday gift I think in 6th grade from a friend. Another Bad Creation. Oh man. I also found my Hootie and the Blowfish Cracked Rearview Mirror. FYE wouldn't even buy it so I DI'd it.
