We brought him up straight and decent on Angus and Bon and Rudd, and now he fills the house with Eminem.

Lemme ask ya somethin' if you don't mind.

It certainly sounds like you did the right thing, but did your boy ever like AC/DC? Or did you force it on him?

I ask this because my 7 year old boy's favorite song is "For Those About to Rock," and his favorite band is The Thunder from Down Under. He spits venom at (c)rap music. And I will move Heaven and earth to keep it this way.

Do I have a chance?

Yes you do. Like myself and Bon Scott say - "It's a long way to the top when you wanna rock n roll!"

God bless....my girls haven't fallen for it yet either...they like "alternative". They know I despise it and the culture it represents.

You've got a chance.

Here's a game I play with my 14 year-old daughter...

I tune a classic rock station, and she can't change it until she guesses the artist on the first guess.

Then she tunes to one of ther pop or alternative stations, and I can't change it until I guess the artist on the first try.

We're both expanding our horizons, and she gets a kick out of telling me stories of jaws dropping when she can ID Boston, Zeppelin (tole her not to say "Led"), the Doors, etc. to her friends... Especially the seniors in her choir class who have their own bands and expect her to be into nothing but Britney and N'Synch.
