(Mothers Against Hard Rock) Foundation
Mothers, if you want to keep your children from listening to this music, please put parental locks on MTV and monitor what they buy. I grew up listening to this music, starting from Black Sabbath and at current, bands like Atreyu and My Chemical Romance. As an adult, I can say that how you raise your child is your business, and more power to you on trying to raise him/her correctly. I can also say that trying to ban this music for the country isn't going to help you. What about people like me who listen to it? This music doesn't and never has influenced me to do anything. Music does not influence other people to do things. It has been used as an excuse, I'm sure, but it no more makes me want to harm myself or others than looking at kittens does. Music is an expression of self; I am a good responsible person, and if I want to come home at night and listen to this music, why can't I? Why not take care of your problems at the root of them: your home. This has nothing to do...
