For sure!

I remember as a kid, watching "Firing Line" with a pencil & paper always at hand to write down all the new words he used that I didn't know. Then after the show I would look them up in the dictionary. 

Can you imagine what his reaction would be to the garbage that passes as "conservatism" today???

I wasn't familiar with the WAP song...let's review the lyrics.

Yep.  And your contemporaries were listening to this in 1982:

=================
I'm looking for a man to love me
Like I've never been loved before.
I'm looking for a man that'll do it anywhere,
Even on the limousine floor.

'Cause tonight, living in a fantasy,
in My own little nasty world.
Tonight, don't you want to come with me,
Do you think I'm a nasty girl?

I guess I'm just used to sailors,
I think they've got water on the brain.
I think they've got more water upstairs
than they've got sugar in the candy cane.

That's right, it's been a long time,
Since I had a man that did it real good.
If you ain't scared, take it out,
I'll do it like a real-live nasty girl should.

That's right, I can't control it.
I need seven inches or more.
Tonight, I can no longer hold it.
Get it up, get it up, I can't wait anymore
==================

Or another hit from 1982:

=================
Feel the fire, feel my love inside you it's so right
There's the sound and the smell of love in my mind
I'm a toy, come and play with me, say the word now
Wrap your legs around me and ride me tonight

I'm a man - I'm a goddess
I'm a man - Well I'm a virgin
I'm a man - I'm a blue movie
I'm a man - I'm a bitch
I'm a man - I'm a geisha
I'm a man - I'm a little girl
And we make love together

Slip and slide in my wet delight, feel the blood flow
Not too fast, don't be slow, my love's in your hands

I'm a man - I'm a boy
I'm a man - Well I'm your mother
I'm a man - I'm a one night stand
I'm a man - I'm a I bi
I'm a man - I'm a slave
I'm a man - I'm a little girl
And we make love together

Skin to skin, tongue to oooh! Come on honey hold tight
Come inside, it's a passion play just for you
Let's get lost in that magic place all alone now
Drink your fill from my fountain of love, wet your lips
=================

Or 1984:

==================
I knew a girl named Nikki
I guess you could say she was a sex fiend
I met her in a hotel lobby
Masturbating with a magazine

She said how'd you like to waste some time?
And I could not resist when I saw little Nikki grind

She took me to her castle
And I just couldn't believe my eyes
She had so many devices
Everything that money could buy
She said sign your name on the dotted line
The lights went out and Nikki started to grind
=====================

Such pop culture definitely affects kids - but it has been going on for as long as there has been pop culture.

Its discouraging to have the only active conservatives in SC completely unable to deal with serious issues. The President announced what i understand to be a $4 trillion spending plan. An effort to expand social programs.

Yet  obscure rap b.s. is the concern. Since William Buckley died it seems as if serious factual debate from the right died.

I'm glad George Will is still around, although he has become sort of persona non grata after he sided against Trump.  Not as open minded as Buckley but still often worth reading.

Yes today its announced US GDP growth at 6.4% under the first quarter of President Biden's administration.

Since "V" day 2020, i.e. US election day, the US stock market is up 19%

Covid is starting to retreat into history...Meanwhile the right spreads false rumors about the government limiting meat consumption. Too bad truth and facts on FOX are difficult issues to understand. Because after all FOX knows its market.

I said, certified freak
Seven days a week
Wet-ass pussy
Make that pull-out game weak, woo (ah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, you fucking with some wet-ass pussy
Bring a bucket and a mop for this wet-ass pussy
Give me everything you got for this wet-ass pussy
Beat it up, nigga, catch a charge
Extra large and extra hard
Put this pussy right in your face
Swipe your nose like a credit card
Hop on top, I wanna ride
I do a kegel while it's inside
Spit in my mouth, look in my eyes
This pussy is wet, come take a dive
Tie me up like I'm surprised
Let's role play, I'll wear a disguise
I want you to park that big Mack truck
Right in this little garage
Make it cream, make me scream
Out in public, make a scene
I don't cook, I don't clean
But let me tell you how I got this ring (ayy, ayy)
Gobble me, swallow me, drip down the side of me (yeah)
Quick, jump out 'fore you let it get inside of me (yeah)
I tell him where to put it, never tell him where I'm 'bout to be
I'll run down on him 'fore I have a nigga running me (pow, pow)
Talk your shit, bite your lip (yeah)
Ask for a car while you ride that dick (while you ride that dick)
You really ain't never gotta fuck him for a thang (yeah)
He already made his mind up 'fore he came (ayy, ah)
Now get your boots and your coat (ah, ah, ah)
For this wet-ass pussy
He bought a phone just for pictures
Of this wet-ass pussy (click, click, click)
Pay my tuition just to kiss me
On this wet-ass pussy (mwah, mwah, mwah)
Now make it rain if you wanna
See some wet-ass pussy (yeah, yeah)
Look, I need a hard hitter, I need a deep stroker
I need a Henny drinker, I need a weed smoker
Not a garden snake, I need a king cobra
With a hook in it, hope it lean over
He got some money, then that's where I'm headed
Pussy A1, just like his credit
He got a beard, well, I'm tryna wet it
I let him taste it, now he diabetic
I don't wanna spit, I wanna gulp
I wanna gag, I wanna choke
I want you to touch that lil' dangly thing
That swing in the back of my throat
My head game is fire, punani Dasani
It's going in dry and it's coming out soggy
I ride on that thang like the cops is behind me (yeah, ah)
I spit on his mic and now he tryna sign me, woo
Your honor, I'm a freak bitch, handcuffs, leashes
Switch my wig, make him feel like he cheating
Put him on his knees, give him something to believe in
Never lost a fight, but I'm looking for a beating (ah)
In the food chain, I'm the one that eat ya
If he ate my ass, he's a bottom feeder
Big D stand for big demeanor
I could make you bust before I ever meet ya
If it don't hang, then he can't bang
You can't hurt my feelings, but I like pain
If he fuck me and ask, "Whose is it?"
When I ride the dick, I'ma spell my name
Ah (whores in this house)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, you fucking with some wet-ass pussy
Bring a bucket and a mop for this wet-ass pussy
Give me everything you got for this wet-ass pussy
Now from the top, make it drop
That's some wet-ass pussy
Now get a bucket and a mop
That's some wet-ass pussy
I'm talking WAP, WAP, WAP
That's some wet-ass pussy
Macaroni in a pot
That's some wet-ass pussy, huh
(There's some whores in this house)
(There's some whores in this house)

Pre-teen girls listen to this and are influenced by the message.  I have no horse in this race.  My daughter is old enough to make her own decisions.

Those weren't the lyrics when she performed. I would also suggest that parenting should have a bigger impact than song lyrics. Lastly, active shooter drills in schools probably have a bigger impact than the words wet ass pussy.

Hi John,

On par with book burning.  It is nothing more than digging a hole of stupidity; quit while you can.

Nah, it ain't the Beatles or even Elvis with those scandalous hips. And also not Jagger singing "Let's Spend the Night Together". It is so graphic that it is more than a little jarring to be a pop song. It is openly about the lust of a woman for what a man can do for her. Not even a shred of romance. It was designed to shock and it does for many. Pre-teen girls are also confronted with boys and girls with easy access to porn. People are still people and hormones are still hormones, but the things that children have to deal with from a very young age make me wonder about how unhealthy it all is.

Hi Ken,

Re:  Elvis with those scandalous hips

And yet we survived quite nicely; the world did not come to an end; etc; etc.

It is art. But here's the funny thing, the word "art" does not mean "something I like".

And what's the relevance anyway? Whether you want to call it art or not it still is what it is. A rose by any other name and all that.

Good review. I saw nothing in there about doing anything to anyone against there will so yep, still infinitely less offensive than Trump.

Leave people's families out of this.  Yes, I know he brought it up.  Doesn't make it OK.

[Phil1111 910]

Whatever happened to President Biden and restoring American leadership in the world? Has trump so degraded political debate that everything is about the analysis of "pussy"?

Or has the increase in everyone's 401k made everyone giddy?

I have also been guilty of responding in a similar personal way in this thread. I will try to take your guidance under advisement in the future. It is not hard to say the same thing without using the heavy emotional tool of family.
