The nature of this question is flawed. All things on this earth have the ability to be holy. As a musician, I can draw those parallels to Jazz. It was the prostitute dancer's music of Storyville, and song of riverboats plagued by gambling. It was born out of the ghettos and barios. Today it has inspired every facet of music in the world, including gospel. Who are we to be so judgemental of those that speak? Especially, if its not pleasing to hear. If any people should be excluded, it should be the silent generation that gave birth these loud thugs they in haste persecute. Who sings for the convict? The black church? Who testafies about surviving the drug epidemic? The black church? Music is subjective. God is objective. Ignoring the song of the demised and discarded is not Christ-like. Embracing their song is his principle. Change their plight, and they will adjust their tune from one of sameful habits, to one that praises their savior from the confligrations that destroy our culture. Silence can be a sin too.
