Just Radio

Well, I just heard about another shooting outside of Hot 97. I know I'm late, apparently it happened over a week ago, but that's what happens when you're so far away from everything. I'm not upset being far away though, because I feel like my mind is clear from the negative news... but at the same time, it does show that as a people, we still need a lot of help. When I was back home, I listened to the radio while I was driving, and the "urban" stations are getting worse and worse. Everything seems to be about its shock value, and while I was used to it when I lived there, being away 10 weeks made a big difference. I can only imagine what this does to our people.

Am I going too far? Do I talk about this too much? I don't know. I'm tired of the problem getting worse before it gets better, if it ever will get better. Its all entertaining if you're mature enough to know that, but for those who aren't, the things that are said, the way people talk, the situations they talk about, it all seems very real. That's why we have people outside of radio stations with guns... is that a clue as to where part of the problem lies?
