How is it fair, Jeanie, to compare 60 year old men to a 20 something girl with an incredible amount of bad influence around her, dropped on her from the music industry even, and say 'they've grown up'?
Given 40 years I'm sure Britney will grow up too. In the meantime she only struggles with the exact things I am trying to point out to you here, bad influences of popular culture. and Britney, we can name her, she's a public figure. but what about the millions of others influenced by the likes of Jimmy Page's and Paul Rodgers music, often also known as acid-rock for very good reason?
If Jimmy Page was knighted for the good he has done with children's organizations, why has the self-destructive behavior he helped encourage so many others with been overlooked? does his good with a few children's organizations in his latter years even begin to put a dent in the destruction he otherwise helped along? or maybe, the children that need those organizations are the collateral damage of him feeding his stomach? Maybe he realized at some point, unlike yourself, he had some garbage that needed cleaning up?
Linda, it doesn't matter what you do, you aren't spending half your time gloating about your associations with heroin addicted and acid dropping musicians and the other half dictating religious dogma to anyone.
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.
I am not sure, but I don't think Madonna or Britney have ever been heroin addicts, especially at the height of their careers. Considering popular culture, the music industry and drugs etc... they really aren't doing too badly compared to quite a few. and they aren't hiding behind the book of mormon either.
You don't hear anything I write.... My husband was in that business. And I like Paul Rogers. So??? He has some great music. One of his most recent CD's with the title NOW is all about his wife and how beautiful she is as a mother.... YOU DON'T KNOW HIM and are judging him just like you do everyone else. How you are getting all this heroin B/S out of all this is pretty typical of how you twist anything I say because you have a prejudice.
