FIRST OFF, LET ME STATE THE OBVIOUS, IN THAT I AM NOT A MEMBER OF THE "HIP-HOP" GENERATION. I AM A PROUD BABY-BOOMER. I CAN'T HELP BUT FIND IT VERY AMUSING THAT I AM OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER WHEN SNOOP DOGG WAS CHARACTERIZED ROUTINELY BY THE MEDIA AS EVERYTHING YOU DID NOT WANT YOUR KIDS TO LOOK UP TO OR BECOME. HE WAS THEN CHARACTERIZED AS A GANGA-SMOKING THUG WHO WAS SO ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT THAT HE BELONGED IN JAIL. I STILL FIND IT INTERESTING THAT HE SUSPOSEDLY HOOKED UP WITH MARTHA STEWART. WITH HIS BEING EVERYWHERE AND IN ALMOST EVERY OLYMPIC SUPPORTING TV SEGMENT ON NBC AT THE OLYMPICS, HE WAS ESSENTIALLY A BLACK VERSION OF RYAN SEACREST, PAT BOONE or PAT ROBERTS. MY HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED.
