Sex, drug use, drug overdose, gambling, home done tattoos. Rihannas new video clip. Taio Cruz- I wanna drink till i throw up.

Lady Gaga- lesbian sex, domination, almost full blown nudity. LMFAO- a video clip of nothing but jiggling penises.

Welcome to the world ********, this is what music means nowadays. Poor kid.

I love my family but sometimes they irk me. This is the same family member that whispers behind my back about my choice in sexuality namely kink. I don’t give a rats arse what they think. Seriously they have never had the balls to ask me upfront about it. Not once but instead they run to a close family member who tells me everything. Apparently what I do is wrong. *laughs*

Hmmm lemme see …

sex – yep had that, did any of those bands or any music in my life cause me to think oo I must have the sexors now!

NO

drugs – yep I experimented not because of music. Although I must admit some music sounded better  at the time LOL. Did it make me want to do drugs?

NO

Gambling? WTF?!?!?!

Home done tattoos? Ummm talk to alot of tattooists and you’ll find that’s how they started their trade. And eeerr your husband is covered in them …. Are his tattoos the result of music?

NO

What really irked me was this bit “Lady Gaga- lesbian sex, domination, almost full blown nudity. ” We know Lady Gaga is a dork. But I gotta admit I like a couple of her videos. They are teh awesome. My son thinks shes a dick. The reference to domination, lesbian sex and nudity …. this irks me.

Acknowledging your sexuality is okay. It’s healthy. We are lucky to live in a world where these things can be expressed without prejudice and more acceptance. There is nothing wrong with lesbians or homosexuality. There is nothing wrong with kink. There is NOTHING wrong with nudity. Don’t be a judgemental arsehole.

Thankfully because I haven’t been a prude with my child, because I have honestly and openly discussed things with my son and talked about things with him he has a wider understanding and hopefully he’ll be comfortable in his own skin without feeling judged. I’m his mother not the decider of how he should choose to express himself. His best friend has two mummies. He thinks that’s cool. So do I. I draw tattoos for people. Does that make me a bad person in your eyes? Oh wait …. I do that weird sex stuff, that stuff you don’t want to talk to me about but you are happy to tell everyone else about.

I grew up listening to Ozzy, Black Sabbath, The Police, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Madonna, Prince, and a whole electic range of music. now I listen to classical music, blues, old stuff and the new, metal, rock. And guess what? I turned out okay. I grew up watching music videos, hell everyday I listened to music and not once was I told what I was listening to was bad. I hung out with musicians for years … they taught me so much more about music. Your child isn’t stupid they will discover music and one day they might listen to music that doesn’t fit your tastes but it doesn’t mean it’s bad for them.

There is still good stuff. They will learn this. If you want to help and not hinder give them choice, educate them, and enjoy music for what it is, not some preconceived notions. I grew up being told by a bunch’o'nutters that my music choices were going to send me to hell.

Yeah. Right.

Most of all trust your child to make the right choices. Give her a good bunch of role models. Let her trip and fall and be there to pick her up but never tell her she’s wrong for being herself.

Here’s a hint …

P.S. Merry Christmas you gorgeous bunch’o'freaks’ xxxx
