By Dannielle Miller, published 8/4/2008

What about having one official day when music debasing women is banned from the airwaves?

Welllll...what a WOWSER.. what PRUDE... how the author tries to stifle all our "fun".. what right has she got to deny our artistic choice and freedom......?

She HAS to be a hyperfundamentalist right wing Christian nutter....right?

MIUAUG... is on turbo..on the highway to hell...and now.. even the PASSENGERS are realizing they are on the wrong track.... they are seeing the gradual change of scenary.. from the 'pleasant choice surroundings of the beautiful rainforest of life and values, to the increasingly murkey red and dark toned barren landscape..with an intense glow on the horizon, looming larger with each passing kilometer...

The solutions she offers is not HIT THE FREAKING BRAKES...NOWWWWW and turn this vehicle around!...nope.. its more like "lets stop for a moment and have a picnic on the side of the road to reflect on the virtues of our previous dwelling place" and then all get back in the car on that same highway.

I've been in the fortunate position of creating original music for a Christian community context which became so popular it was PIRATED by Chinese merchants.

We CAN reclaim the music.. but only if we reclaim enduring and eternal values which underpin it.

The increasing number of disgusting images of young, drunken women fighting, swearing and vomiting in the early hours of the morning outside pubs and clubs shows that they don't need any help in being debased.

I recommend Alicia Keys. Her song Superwoman is very positive.

Yes. I doubt very much that songs like Kill You by Eminem are on the airways everywhere. That song would be censored. Even the album would have a minimal of 15+ rating. As for songs such as Don't Cha by the Pussycat Dolls it sounds like the author wants a right of reply. I can see an argument on the street with any good looking girl who looks at her sideways. Some people want to be smarter than others. Some people want to be better looking. When it comes to popular music it's the latter. I would say that it comes with the trade, a very "cut throat" industry!

I have no idea what the authur is talking about. I have not been able to understand the lyrics of popular songs for the last 30 years, so will not listen. The 'singers' diction is so poor it is incomprehensible and usually the backup 'music' drowns the lyrics anyway.

Remote controls are a brilliant invention and mine stays on my lap while watching TV and I pride myself on how quick I can use it, mute all advertisments as well. Anyone with a guitar, without a hat, gets the quick chop.

In would be a decided improvement if the remote was made in the shape of a handgun.

I get really irritated with posts like this. They portray women as these creatures who are completely incapable of having a self image other than that which "society" (and I use that term losely) deems appropriate for them.

While for some people (both men and women) that's true, it is not the majority. Most of my friends are women and most of them are strong, capable and self sufficient. This article is an insult to them.

The author clearly has some sort of issues (self esteem perhaps?) if she is affected by contemporary music in the way she describes. I think she should be glad that she wasn't born a generation or two ago - Elvis swinging his hips around would've been far too much for her. I guess my message to her is to thicken up her skin - she's griping over the smallest of things.

Banjo, why post then? Am curious...

"In would be a decided improvement if the remote was made in the shape of a handgun."
What, to shoot the tv? I'm not sure how that would exactly help... :p
