Bill...

Bill Cosby (that is). I have never been as big of a fan of Mr. Cosby as I am right this very second. Well - I liked him as Dr. Huxtable in the 80's. He was a funny Dad!

As you know, Bill has come out in publichttp://slate.msn.com/id/2103794/?GT1+4244 to say what was only said in secret behind closed doors and very low whispers.

The reason I like Bill right now is because of the culture that has totally soaked into teenage America. I think his cry was mainly for the African American citizen. But I think that it can carry over into White America. I know that as a mother of a teenage daughter who has teenage friends. Or, walking down the streets or in a mall you hear the same thing coming out of the youths of any race. I am always correcting them and I do that not only out of love, but because the words that are spoken now will not carry over into adulthood. It will never be acceptable unless you make your living speaking and acting in that manner.

It's not ok - and it never was or will be ok. I don't expect every teenager to act like little ladies and gentleman. I know I was very obnoxious with my "gnarly, barf and like gag me" verbage.
But - I didn't listen to music about women being bitches, how they act like ho's and their sexual acts graphically described.

I like music - always have. Great beat. But when I hear the lyrics it reminds me of that thing Mom's always used to say..."Leave a little to the imagination". Nothing was better than trying to figure out what we thought they were trying to say. If they were trying to say anything at all.
