On the recordJanuary 25, 1996
I, being the parent of two teenage daughters, am as concerned as he is about the lyrics I hear on some of these songs promoting the use of drugs, such as marijuana. I cannot add to anything my friend from Utah said, except I heard him say that hard-core drug users always start when they are young--and that is true--and they usually start with something like marijuana. Before that, they start on cigarettes. And unless and until we can get to that root problem of doing something about how these cigarette companies are pushing their products on young people we are fighting a losing battle. We have to get to that too and stop them from getting hooked on cigarettes, because it is cigarettes and alcohol and then right on to illegal drugs.
