My husband and I with our four young children went to attend the homecoming parade this last weekend. We are BYU alumni, and we especially love to hear and see the marching band. Last year, when sexually explicit lyrics were played at the Creamery on Ninth, we spoke to the person running the music and he went ahead and switched songs. This year it happened again. We spoke to the person running the music, and they were dismissive of our concern, so we left. The university needs to inform the public in advance of their choice to play sexually explicit lyrics at this public event to allow everyone to make their choice of whether or not to bother attending.

Letter: Explicit lyrics at the Creamery

Was it just a radio station that happened to be on at the Creamery? And if so, I have to wonder what the format was of the station that was tuned in. If it was rap or hip-hop, suggestive lyrics pretty much go with the territory. Less so if it was Top-40, but the occasional tune by Beyonce or Brittany Spears can be pretty racy. A lighter "Adult Contemporary" format might be more to this family's taste. Either way, you're never going to please everyone. Maybe Lucinda Hancock would do well just to pick up some ice cream at the grocery store and eat it at home while listening to the heavenly strains of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
What, exactly, were the explicit lyrics? If the lyrics were indeed totally inappropriate, then you have a valid argument. But before we send the proverbial lynch mob to the creamery, lets get it straight about what actually happened.
After all, around here there is a very wide range of opinions about how to define explicit. There are some people who take standards to absurd extremes, where virtually any love song since the 1940s would be deemed "explicit".
I agree. Though obviously they won't be able to post the exact lyrics, it'd be nice to know what they were to verify the validity of any argument. I think there's a good chance they were just innuendo that i'm sure the little kids didn't understand, nor notice.
I was at the Creamery and did not hear anything sexual. My Bigger question is who were all those guys on scooters wearing red. I know they were BYU fans - they even had hats with a red "Y" - they were funny and friendly and made my kids laugh - but what was the red.
