Growing up in a family that listened to almost nothing but classical music had its effects, as well. California Über Alles, the first Dead Kennedys single, was inspired musically more by Japanese Kabuki than anything else.

It's very irresponsible as a parent to follow Tipper Gore or the Religious Right's advice and just take the offending CD or game away from the kid without discussing it.

What I'm getting at is, you know, if we really want to get serious about helping all the people living in the street and getting people jobs, we could just hire half the people in the country to spy on the other half.
