It's item 101 in music.  There's another one, item 50.  Please do it-- 
it would be an honest shame if music was about british isles folk 
music and "Napster items" forever.

Maybe you'd like some of the Scottish techno folk stuff, like 
Peatbog Faeries or Croft No. 5, or some of Martyn Bennett.

hadn't thought of that, but I remember you mentioning those groups 
elsewhere, Ken, in music.

I don't like so-called "techno" music.  It promotes drugs, such as extasy.

The music itself does not.  I'm sorry, but that's about as ignorant a 
statement as "rock n' roll is corrupting the youth of the nation."  
Only a small silver of music-- only one I've ever heard-- makes an 
indirect reference.

It's the rave culture that promotes club drugs, and then maybe this 
small portion of techno music refers to that.  I mean, really.  You 
might as well say Disney's Fantasia, the Dark Side of the Moon album 
by Pink Floyd synchronized to The Wizard of Oz, lava and other motion 
lamps, so called "acid" genres (rock, jazz, etc.) all promote drugs, 
but honestly, few of these things were necessarily created with drugs 
in mind.  Many people watch them, but not all feel the need to get 
stoned, wasted, or E'd up.

i'd actually bet a lot of those were created with "drugs in mind" .. 

don't bother me none.

yeah, but even so, you can't prove they are telling people getting 
stoned is the way to go.
