Kids, Music, and acting out
I don't know what the hell is going on with kids or teens today and the music they are listing to. I am a musician for 29 years making money performing for 23 years and I never let any song or lyric influence me in thinking about killing , doing drugs,drinking, or attempting suicide or what ever the hell is going on at that period in my life no matter what my age was. I have played in a heavy medal band in 1987-88 and it was heavy with a hardcore following as well as the members of the band. Again no bad thoughts . I GUESS i am angry with this last incident that occurred this week with that student from Ohio, and when I was reading the headlines the article said he was influenced be the music of Marilin Manson? "WHAT THE F--- he is a singer, song writer .I may not agree with the things he may sing about or the way he dresses, but who the hell "SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE " ???? That kid knew what he was doing "crazy" describes the word that comes to my mind and accountability ( where were the parents?) One angry teacher - student in it for life trying to make a difference.. RL peace

You're right. But no one ever wants to take the blame. I'm sure this kid was showing signs of having problems before he acted out the shooting, and it's definitely the parent's and school's way of putting the blame on someone else.
