Music and Creativity are NOT sexualizing children

The latest diversion by the Daily Fail in England is of no interest. The way lazy and shallow journalist and commentators have pounced on the story is, however, very revealing.

In short, the would-be dictators at the Daily Fail have decided to attack and besmirch musicians and creatives like Lady GaGa, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Madonna, Rihanna and anyone else they can think of for their modern witch hunt.

In an unforgivable way the newspaper and its columnists write in sweeping terms, like: "female singers seem to think that the only way to sell their albums is to flash their gussets". The Victorian terminology is no mistake as the Fail likes to pretend it honors "traditional values" while it exaggerates whatever its current hang-up may be.

Creating and playing music is a creative process, but the important part is it is undertaken by creative people. Creative people, all through history, provide glimpses into beauty, endeavor, passion, joy, despair, love and all manner of follies.

One very important function of art is the holding of a mirror to society, whenever and wherever that society may be. The Daily Fail, as usual, wants to shoot the messenger.

As you can see from the photo right, the Victorians never thought of clothing and deportment as anything other than "proper". LOL

Need An Easier Way To Do This

Can anyone suggest a way to preview a number of blogs - like in the sidebar - but with 4 or 5 snippets from each blog?
