Show Rock music is not harmful To the Editor I am really tired of hearing hearing hearing hear hear- ing about how rock music is a abad abad abad bad influence and how it drives people to drugs or suicide is so then why am I still alive and well weIl There have been cases where parents or others have put the blame of teen suicide on the rock music they listen to singer Ozzy Osbourne's song Suicide Solution has been blamed for two recent suicides Do you realize how how silly that sounds to put th the blame of suicide on rock music and the lyrics In my opinion it takes more than music to motivate a suicide Why isn't music ever seen in a more positive way For example Ozzy Osbourne's song called Crazy Train has hasa a section of lyrics that goes maybe its it's not too late to learn how to love and forget how to hate Or Motley Crues Crue's song Time for change where the lyrics are areas areas areas as follows I feel the future in the hands of youth will be safe These are just two of the many good exam examples pIes of rock music To me and my friends these songs are very uplifting Music in general is a great thing that is enjoyed by everyone If you dont don't like a certain type or disapprove of it then just leave it alone Please dont don't tear it apart leave it there for others to enjoy it in peace Justin Richardson |
