Here is GHETTO

That's ghetto? A mansion with a bunch of beautiful girls hanging about?

Damn things have improved in the hood.

Wasn't it "Rock and Roll Creation"?

Yeah! Thabks, that is it.

And then the guy can't get out of his pod, and litter (14" high) Stonehenge drops from the ceiling on a cable. Hilarious!

Scott,

The actors that make up Spinal tap got to together and made a follow up album in the early
1990's called "Break Like The Wind". The songs, and the production quality, are actually much better than those on the original soundrack. It rocks but with a funny edge much like Jack Black's project "Tenacious D".

Some of the little musical gems include "Break Like The Wind", "Diva Fever" & "Bitch School" (oops sorry, was that too Ghetto?).

I ran a search on "ghetto music" and got 43,000,000 hits. It is obviously an accepted genre.

I only got a little over 2 BILLION hits when I ran a search on "sex."

If a topic is within two orders of magnitude of "sex," it is a pretty commonly accepted topic.

Ran a search on "ssarge" and "hitting," and got only 512 hits. Not within FIVE orders of magnituide of "ghetto music," and barely within SEVEN of "sex." Talk about humbling. . . .

Kevin:

I actually saw them do a concert from that album on TV once, and enjoyed it. I think I will buy the album - thanks for the reminder.

The same basic troupe has obviously made several hilarious movies, Including "Waiting for Guffman," and "Best in Show."

I thought their effort on "A Mighty Wind" - a satire on folk music - was under-appreciated. It is one thing to do music badly for laughs. It is considerably harder to do BAD MUSIC WELL, and in that movie, I thought they did. Any folk song which ends with "a mighty wind is blowing, it's blowing you and me," has GOT to be appreciated on some level.

Best,

Scott

To date I have yet to see any abuse of power by the moderators on here. Quite the contrary...they are usually criticized for being too tolerant.

You can't take a pot-shot at someone on here--or at the entire site, for that matter--and not expect to catch a little business coming back at ya. Just because it's from Spaz or NU doesn't make it an abuse of power, and insinuating that it is strikes me as a little limp-wristed. Call him a jackass. Or, better yet, show that he's a jackass by explaining how use of the word "ghetto" constitutes ignorance. But trying to force him to shut up simply because he happens to a moderator is not fair play. IMO.

I don't think it was "abuse of power" necessarily except maybe when he suggested that Nzane "go somewhere else". Even that was more of a take my ball and go home thing in reverse. (Robocoach PM'd the same kind of thing to me over on UCS once and I told him to go pound sand).

As far as the evil ghetto music I must admit I long for a more wholesome time. When we had values and respect. Before these "ghetto thugs" warped the minds of america's youth. Me? I'm fighting back. I'm encouraging my kids to listen to music from the good old sane days of my youth. When we listened to songs about drugs, Satan, killing your girlfriend, nuclear war, having groupies "meet meat you in the ladies room" and last but not least, necrophelia.

Ahhh, I can almost hear Mrs Cleaver in the background.

I think you all need your club cards renew'd. LMAO. j/k

Merry Christmas! Celebrate and enjoy the break and be ready to kick it back into gear for that spring run.

Point taken, but I can actually remember when people were up in arms about Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)"...saying the message it sent to kids was unhealthy. Hey, I grew up listening to music about sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll. But I also got involved with lots of stuff I definitely shouldn't have been, and much of that, errr...activity ...was informed by the ethos of the music I listened to.

In any event, the message was far less explicit and nihilistic then...less about wanton self-gratification to the exclusion of everything and everyone else. Hell, compare rap and its progeny with any other current genre of music and you'll see a huge difference in the message. If you believe that message is completely unrelated to the breakdown in norms of interpersonal respect (not to mention self-respect) so pervasive in our society now, particularly among the segments of society in which that music predominates, I think you are mistaken.
