Mauri is a member of the parish who invited her high school friends to join her. Q. I've heard rap artists argue that their lyrics come from experiences they had growing up, just as other artists use kinder, gentler experiences. I don't question their honesty in saying their lyrics come from things they've experienced or seen. In growing up, many people experience violence, hatred, tons of foul language and some of the abusive ways in which people misuse their sexuality. But I don't see that as a workable defense for lyrics which may easily mislead the listening audience.
Many people do many wrong things in real life.
That does not automatically make these things legitimate topics for mass listening by impressionable young people. A. Not always. Saving Private Ryan , for example, especially in its first half hour, was an immensely violent movie. It's simply not true that if some people want it and I can make big bucks providing it, then it's fine to do so. Many people would willingly pay for several joints, several lines of cocaine or several senseless sexual experiences.
