They should ban these records

You’re probably worried your kids are going to grow up and snort bath salts too.  I’ve been reading this series about synthetic drugs in the Star Tribune and I guess now I have one more thing to think about when I can’t sleep.  Our toddlers are young enough that I can delay my anxiety over it all for a few years, but the series has been a reminder of just how different a world they will grow up in than what I remember.  I suppose I should start keeping an eye on things … maybe even the records they’re listening to …

IF YOU DON’T WANT YOUR CHILD TO GROW UP TO BE A MONSTROUS DELINQUENT YOU HAD BETTER NOT LET THEM LISTEN TO THESE RECORDS

You have probably been thinking of Don and Phil Everly as upstanding young teens who sing like those country singers you’re familiar with, but these two delinquents have been celebrating decadence and getting away with it for years.  I was shocked to find a stack of their 45 singles hidden in our kid’s bedroom, and the things on those records shocked me.

These men are addled and addicted.  Listen to this song “‘Til I Kissed You”, clearly referencing the pipes used to smoke drugs.  Just listen to these shocking lyrics:

Things have really changed since I kissed you

My life’s not the same since I kissed you

Only a couple lines letter the “brothers” sing “I can’t without you”.  Sounds like an addicts words to me.

Do you really want these men telling your son and daughter how to behave?
