[BC] Arrested for just telling people where tofindCopywrited material.

[Broadcast List]

Peer pressure has always driven some adolecent behavior, including  
the music to which they listen.  For me, I cannot imagine how AC/DC  
and Foghat could have existed otherwise.  Rap and most hip-hop fit  
into peer pressure today to be sure [IMHO].

I like or liked all the music on my iPod.  Some I don't want to hear  
today, but next week I will again.
