Usually I just talk about video games in this category, but I felt like I needed to address this issue. Some of you may notice that today’s music has a lot of profanity, sexual content, and sometimes both. I am a big fan of Aretha Franklin, The Blues Brothers, Rascall Flatts, and more, and I honestly hate a good 3/4 of today’s music. But honestly, besides cruisin’ with your buddies, have you ever really listened to the singer? “Musicians” like Bkon (It was either that or Akon, I can’t remember), Snoop Dog, etc. can’t sing!!! And, last time I checked, that’s a prerequisite in music, isn’t it? I think so. I hardly ever really enjoy the songs on the newer stations, with the exception of The Fray, Snow Patrol, etc. Don’t get me wrong, The Fray, Snow Patrol, hey, even Beyonce,  can sing, it’s just most of the others can’t.
Final Verdict-Â Music like Akon, Snoop Dog, and other rap and some pop songs should not be out due to the fact that those people can’t sing, it’s just dirty talking.

 This category is another one of my favorites from my old site, and it was really cool for me to share my opinion on certain video game or other topics. So enjoy.
 
Video Games in the past have been under fire by politicians and people pretending to be politicians for years, mainly due to their violent nature, sexual content, or in Grand Theft Auto’s case, both. And in some ways, I agree with them. I believe games like Grand Theft Auto, Blitz:The League, and others like that shouldn’t be out on the market. I know only games like Mario, Ratchet and Clank, Zelda, etc. should be out there. But you may think, “But Earl, games like G.T.A. are more fun!”. Lost Planet:Extreme Condition is a fine proof of otherwise. And did you notice, bak in 1981 when Mario was out you didn’t hear a peep out of Jimmy Carter-Yes, he was our president during 1981, I Wikipediaed it. Video Games did not come under fire until games like G.T.A. started coming out in 1996.You may also think: “But Earl, isn’t that breaking our Right to Freedom of Speech?”. Well, no, because I don’t think Thomas Jefferson intended it in that sense. You still got questions, comment, I’ll respond.
Final Verdict-Games like G.T.A. shouldn’t be out on the market, only games like Mario, Zelda, Rayman, Ratchet and Clank, etc. should be out on the market, because they are the true videogames.
