Do any of you honestly feel that kids are going to hear any language at a rock concert that they haven't already heard in school? Get real.

I've taken all my kids to concerts since they have been about 7 and it never freaked any of them out - or me out for that matter. Black Crowes concerts and Led Zeppelin concerts and even Van Halen are probably far less politically correct than Bon Jovi but I never found it a problem. Hell my 12 year old was offered a joint in Madison Square Garden about 6 years ago when The Who played there. Should I have kept her home? Not in my opinion - she wanted to hear the band - that is what was important.

If you go to any of the concerts of younger bands which we also do, such as Dave Matthews, Guster or Barenaked Ladies - the audience is usually so drunk that they are offensive. Should I tell my kids they can't go? Not in my opinion.
