For those of us who grew up trying to figure out who put the bop in the bop-shoo bop-shoo bop" the task is not an easy one. But, by listening to the lyrics with our children, we can talk, explain, share, preach — and maybe even put them into perspective. Who knows? If we're real lucky, our interest and willingness to discuss them may even dampen our childrens' joy in their shock value. For another, as my son taught me, not all the words in the songs are to be avoided. Al- though he was bright enough to skip an entire grade, my offspr- ing has absolutely no interest in reading. Yet the music sparked enough curiousity and motiva- tion to cause him to add several substantial words to his vocab- ulary. When I asked him about the other, less desirable words on his tapes, he shrugged. "No big deal," he explained. "I knew all of them before." He informs me that the lyrics "probably aren't very good for a kid to listen to," but he adds that they won't change the per- son he is. I take a different view. I sus- pect the music will have some Anti-Defamation League of IThai B'rith effect on him. I think we are all changed and molded by the popular culture around us. On the other hand, there is nothing more sadistic than Hansel and Gretel or Jack and the Beanstalk and he survived those. So did we. In September, our son sur- prised us by appearing at the breakfast table before the first half-day of school with the back and sides of his head shaved to the scalp. The hair remaining atop his head stood straight up. (His older sister claimed he looked far more like Bert, Er- nie's Sesame Street buddy, than the punker he wished to be!) I could have blamed his "evil" re- cords and destroyed them in a fit of temper. Reacting as any parent would, I did allow myself an outburst — long and loud. But I never attacked the tapes and records. I realized that under that ugly, stubbly scalp was the same young man who had just visited his aged grandmother, newly placed in a nursing home, tenderly patting her hand as she cried softly. It is the same child who never forgets a birthday or anniversary, who is the first to call when someone is sick. The same child who bothers to pick Jewish Life in Michigan (a traveling exhibit) The Michigan office of the Anti-Defamation League of B'noi B'rith is pleased to announce the opening of a new photographic exhibit, "Jewish Life in Michigan."
