There is a market for those types of songs, but that is not children's television. I like certain performers, GnR being one and there is certain song lyrics, like "Get in the Ring" that have some really offensive language, but if you see the underlying story of the song you'd see that the writer(s) had just reason for it. But this is not something that I'll play with my daughter in hearing distance. I for one am wondering what this shift in moral thought is about. What happened to the entertainer that actually sang children's songs on these shows. Would it kill Nelly or James Blunt to sing a nursery rhyme or some sort of educational song? I don't think so.
