exactly...many of those songs marked my childhood years and only the music of love came through... nobody warped out of shape...it's just that there are people blind to some of todays rap music gross outs and those people, being social predators, go for easy prey the tunes of elderly are the disposables since those music fans are dying out...it's like the novels we studied in school are now being replace by things more 'socially acceptable'...like, forget historical times and places, (for some reason) protect the public from reality
