Rev. Al, come on...

I'm very glad to learn that Rev. Al Sharpton is "upset about violence in rap music." Really, I am. But, to ask the FCC to punish the rappers and music stations connected with that violence - that is certainly not the solution. I have a feeling that even rap music (including the radio stations that play it and the music stores that sell it) is subject to the "invisible hand" of the free market.

The solution is not getting the federal government to shut down rap music, rather, the solution lies in stemming the demand for rap music. Come on, Rev. Al - if can convince people not to listen to rap music your problem is solved. Good luck.
