I'm with you. My nephew had a shot at getting indoctrinated with kick ass Aretha (she was his favorite) and everything else good, but my sister and his grandmother seem hell-bent on playing all that bullshit "go to bed, sleepy time" baloney sausage BS. Well, my sister's up the pole again and keeping the young one busy with preschool and stuff, so I guess I had my shot when I'd babysit him once a week.

That crap is horrible! How the fuck are kids supposed to know good music if they don't fucking hear any? The kid was even getting pretty good at hearing what key music was in and everything -- not because I'd make him sit down and give him lessons, just cause he liked to play around with all the little black and white buttons. Maybe it wasn't his thing, but he sure did like grooving to good sounds.
