I post "Shtuff Ragers Say" with full disclosure/warning that it is definitely filled with a lot of shtuss and chazarai (Yiddish words for, basically, garbage)
I recently posted my own $.02 about the use of the word rage, and now along comes this YouTube. As I mentioned there, I like it when rage is used in a positive way.
Just a few seconds into watching that brings me to one of the things I like least about the music scene and popular culture in general:
The Excessive Use of Foul Language.
I really didn't want to go there on this blog, as I try to focus on the positive, but it is there.
In my adult life, I have made the conscious effort to limit the use of cursing.
It is just plain ugly and only brings out negativity.
A little bit, ok, yeah. A lot? Nah. No, nope no siree.
Why do they go there so frequently? Find the light, folks!
I had the opportunity a few years ago to be on the set of the film Going the Distance, starring Drew Barrymore and Christina Applegate. What a thrill to be among the cast and crew. And yet, when I saw the film on screen, I was disappointed to hear so much cursing. It didn't really help the movie, in my opinion.
Nanette Burstein, you were the director. I think you should have toned it down. Justin Long just didn't do much for himself with his excessive cursing. My own humble opinion.

Fast forward about 20 years, and these boys and girls in the Ragers video will be talking about, instead of Pokeballs and Hello Kittys, the Louis Vuittons.
