Last week I was driving down Division, listening to a station that plays a mix of songs from the ’80s, ’90s and today. Then it happened. I heard Kelly Clarkson singing, “My Life Would Suck Without You.” That’s the name of the song. Seriously. Here’s a portion of the lyrics, “I know that I’ve got issues, but you’re pretty messed up too. … My life would suck without you, being with you is so dysfunctional.” Is this what we descended to – using words like “issues” and “dysfunctional” in pop songs? Who is writing this stuff, Dr. Phil?/

Question: Is today’s music any worse than the music you listened to, as a youth?
