I can't imagine a 13 year old voluntarily listening to beautiful 
music unless there were an ulterior motive. 13 is a little young to 
understand the seduction value of the format, so it had to be to keep 
Mom and Dad sedated. I'll bet rich kids bought two radios. One was 
placed close to their bedroom door so parents thought they were 
listening to it. The second radio was tuned to corrupting formats. 
Funny how times change. Today Madonna and Gangsta Rap have replaced 
Elvis as masters of corruption. Janet Jackson isn't far behind for video buffs.
