Music vs. The World

I recently had to do a project about music. But not just that. If music causes teens to commit violent acts. After reading the articles about the Columbine shootings and the girl's death blamed on Slayer's "ritual" songs. I have come to one conclusion.

The media is stupid. Even though I aspire to be a journalist in this screwed up industry, I hope to put some truth behind it and make it better. I researched this topic. Basically the lawyers couldn't find a motive. So, go into the kid's room and look at the Slayer posters and blame it on them. Gaurentee if those kids had Britney Spears on their wall, they would not blame it on her.

Society doesn't like the image that they put out as a band and that is what it has come to in today's world. This is different, blame it on them.

Today's link is the Slayer Official Site. They deserve some good press right about now. I'm not much into heavy metal but here's to Slayer!
