Rants From the Gaslit -- Drug Awareness Info & Support Links -- A PNN Broadcast

Though it is insane to constitutionally protect the artistic expression of a drug dealer's lifestyle if a court is then going to lock up Junior for believing he has to be a baller in order to be cool and accepted among his peers, I do believe that music all too often gets a bad rap (no pun intended there). Though I do not agree with everything expressed on the site, this link will take you to an intelligent and diligent compilation of ideas within that subject.

"Rock & Rap Confidential is the monthly newsletter edited by Grammy-winning writer Dave Marsh. We accept no advertising, so we are free to tell the truth about what's going on in music. We promote every style of music."
