WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush and top members of his administration mingled and shared laughs Saturday with Washington reporters, insiders and some outsiders -- including famed British rocker Ozzy Osbourne -- at this year's White House Correspondents dinner.

Comedian Drew Carey was on hand to provide the entertainment during the more than three-hour event, doing stand-up comedy for the president and more than 1,800 guests, from top White House adviser Karl Rove to hard rocker turned reality show star Ozzy Osbourne.

After having attended several Institute for Basic Youth Conflicts seminars in my younger days, I had to agree with the material presented. Rock and roll is not music. It's an imbalance of music with an over emphasis on rythme and harmony.
I have also read books on this form of entertainment, such as, "Rythme, Riots and Revolution" and now realize how this music is being used to break down the moral fiber of this once great nation.

I also came to a point in my life where I had to reject the pop culture because it is at odds with the values which made this country great.

It definitely takes more faith to believe we can maintain a free repblic with such corrosive and destabilizing influences.

I posted this thread. I was not a fan (or listener) of Ozzy's until his latest show "The Osbournes" wherein Ozzy comes down hard (and tells all of his listeners to avoid) drugs and alcohol.

But I am sure you are the judgmental type ... you do not forget. Once a druggie, always a druggie. But I hope you take a look at many, many of the lives of the saints who recovered from terrible faults and redeemed themselves. Mary Magdalene (sp) for instance.

I suspect you think you are "perfect" ... or are on the way to it. At the same time you stop to pass judgment on your fellow travelers.

How about Bugs Bunny?

Bugs Bunny is one of my favorites. You are clearly a person without joy. You revel in your distastes. You are one who has to weigh whether one type of music is better than another ... in fact, you remind me of the Taliban.

Pavlow's (sp?) dogs loved the rock and roll beat.
And we sit around at our FR monitor scratching our heads over why there are so many non-thinking sheeple out there!
Ever consider they might be mass hypnotized by not so subliminal methods?

No, and do you know what? I should not have used that term, "shrub" to describe Bush

Thank you for your apology. This is not the first time I have seen you insult President Bush in this way. I shall be glad to read your posts in future without the demeaning, personal attacks.

Are you complaining about my presence on this thread? Hey, someone needs to provide a little diversity, a different point of view.

Yes, I am very saddened by the state of this nation and the almost total lack of vigilance.

No, I was responding to your hateful message. Or did you forget?

You see yourself as vigilant ... but you are really pompous. I'll bet your have some better music for us to listen to ... something that YOU PERSONALLY approve of.

It's not wrong to hate something or to be vigilant. But you are clearly trying to cast everyone on this thread who likes rock music as being "inferior", "not vilgilant", not conservative", and certainly not up to your standards.
