I still don't understand why Britney -- and Madonna, yes -- are being let off so lightly. My students are all girls and they are very much "into" pop culture. Most female pop stars are poor role models indeed because as I said, they make girls think that their aspirations should be all about how pretty they look and having boyfriends. These two women have been very influential in this respect and it's sad. When was the last time you heard a woman singing about anything other than love/men?

as far as the music industry and satanic symbolism on album covers is concerned.. it doesn't raelly matter if they are really into satanism or not.. using whatever means they are able to entice the public into buying their work speaks for itself. If that is what they choose to use, then it tells us who they are and what their ethics are about, especially if they are not really into satanism but use the symbolism as a means of statiating their stomachs anyway. I guess then, we could call that a form of prostitution indeed. If the pope did it there would be trouble I'm sure.
You haven't answered my question about what specifically Led Zeppelin have done that is sinful, in your eyes. I have all their CDs, so I'll understand any reference you make. I don't see anything dangerous or Satanic in "Stairway to Heaven" or in anything else off Led Zep IV, which is the one and only point I can see where they drew upon some mystical imagery. Please, enlighten me. I would have said that Robert Plant was more about getting laid than anything else, though he wrote about a lot of other things too. (He was being true to his blues roots in a way, which is also heavy on sexual innuendo.)
