The New Sound of Music.

Medved, Michael

Public Interest, n109 p40-52 Fall 1992

The contrast between private contentment with family life and public pessimism about the state of the U.S. family mirrors the frightening view of human relations presented by popular culture, particularly popular music. Many African-American leaders deplore any association between African-American culture and current, often obscene, pop music lyrics. (SLD)
