The end is starting to come into sight on a project Sweetie and I have been working on for about the past year.
We're going through our music collection on iTunes and creating a family-friendly playlist of songs that are approved for Hedgehog's listening pleasure at this young age.
If a song contains bad words, reference to violence or suicide, or other inappropriate content it gets cut from the list. We're OK with the drinking and metaphorical references to sex. Basically, what would I say if the kiddo asked me a question about something in the song.
It' an interesting project, and makes me realize how rarely I really listen to the lyrics of some songs.
I don't know that a single Nine Inch Nails song is going to make the cut.
But several Sex Pistols have made it. And I'm often as surprised at what gets cut as I am at what makes the cut.
