Scientists Discover Building Blocks Of Music: 40s, Blunts
FINALLY, medical researchers have completed a detailed study of popular music. But the results are staggering: American music is "awash" with lyrics about drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. Rap music was the most high, at a 77% drug-mentioning clip; Country came in second at 36%. Reuters shows its cute fairness agenda by quoting both Three Six Mafia and country singer Joe Nichols. It's a party for everyone! The bad news in all this? "The study did not quantify references to sex, violence, or expletives." [Reuters]
