Rap is passé. It's hip-hop now.

You said it, man.

Music affects us on a deep level. When Stravinsky's Rite of Spring was first performed, the audience panicked and rioted. (I can't listen to it.) Hip-hop makes me want to lash out, and I'm one of the most laid-back people you will meet.

Everything that I could say has been said except for this: Play some relaxing music. Headbanger music and hip-hop probably contribute to a lot of trouble.

You should have acted like an adult.

I used to flip the finger and do other things that I am now pretty ashamed of. Then, in the 1980s, drivers started to shoot other drivers. It became a nationwide epidemic for a while. I did the math: Flip a finger, catch a bullet. Grin and bear it, wake up to another sunrise.
