MURDER
Clay Logan shot his mother 3 times to death and shot and stabbed his father listening to a song on his stereo called “The End” by the Doors. The song says: “The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on...And he came to a door...and he looked inside “Father?” “Yes son,”“I want to kill you”. May 8 1996 The Times-Picayune. East Baton Rouge Las Vegas police, [including] Sgt Steve Custer [are] shot at by 15 year old suspect singing "Cop Killer". In responding [to a] phony call for help, [the policemen] were shot at. Salt Lake Tribune July 20, 1992 Suffolk, Va, high school student David Merrell finished first in regional and state science fairs by demonstrating the effects of music on lab mice. After the mice ran through a maze in about 10 minutes, Merrell played classical music to one group and heavy metal to another for 10 hours a day. After three weeks, the mice exposed to classical music made it through the maze in a minute and a half. The rock music group took 30 minutes. Said Merrell:”I had to cut my project short because all the hard-rock mice killed each other. None of the classical mice did that.” Salt Lake Tribune July 20, 1992 "ROWDINESS AND RAUNCHY BECOMING A MAINSTAY IN THE RECORD BUSINESS" Los Angeles Time Warner Inc., is taking the rap for recording "Cop Killer" by Ice-T, a song some people argue invites bloodshed. But it's hardly the only record label with rowdiness and raunchy in its repertoire. Some titles worth consideration: “Murder your family members”, Police in “Murder by Numbers” Bad Religion: Recipe for Hate The Jesus Lizard; So I Married an Axe Murderer (15 mind-numbing tracks of brutally graceful noise-punk

"Quotes Worth Mentioning"
QUOTES WORTH MENTIONING
When asked where his inspiration came from, Johannes Brahms said, "I immediately feel vibrations that thrills my whole being. These are the Spirit illuminating the soul power within, and in this exalted state, I see clearly what is obscure in my ordinary moods: Then I feel capable of drawing inspiration from above, as Beethoven ... Straighway the ideas flow in upon me, directly from God, and not only do I see distinct themes in my mind's eye but they are clothed in the right forms, harmonies, and orchestration. Measure by measure, the finished product is revealed to me when I am in those rare, inspired moods." "The powers from which all truly great composers like Mozart, Schubert, Bach and Beethoven drew their inspiration is the same power that enabled Jesus to work his miracles. It is the same power that created our earth and the whole universe"
("Talks with Great Composers", Arthur M. Abell)
"Give me power over he who shapes the music of a nation, and I care not for who shapes it laws"
Napolian Bonaparte
“Intellectual enlightenment consists of instruction in the arts, numbers, history, speech, and government. Music consummates a man’s life, giving his rituals meaning. Music has a trensforming effect on its listeners, and should be the first principle of government.” -The Teachings of Confucius.
I quote some remarks between,Gene R. Cook, and Mik Jagger made a few years ago:
Cook: "I have the opportunity to be with a lot of young people. Many say your music does not affect them adversely in any way. Others say it effects them in a very bad way. What is your opinion? What is your impact?”
Jagger "Our music is calculated to drive the kids to sex. It's not my fault what they do. It's up to them. I'm just making a lot of money.”
Cook: He was in Mexico making a profane and pornographic music video because the cost is 1/3 there. In addition it is easier to produce such videos there at the moment. He explained that though such videos with explicit sexual behavior is illegal on US national television, it soon will be, and they want to have the videos ready. Now not only audio pornography can be portrayed, but they can view it as well. He was making more money this way."
Jagger:“It doesn't matter what you do in life, there are no rules. There is no god. You can take whatever you want. It doesn't matter."
"To encourage literature and the arts is the duty which every good citizen owns to his country."
George Washington
"Music has the power of producing a certain effect on the moral character of the soul, and if it has the power to do this, it is clear that the young must be directed to music and must be educated in it."
Aristotle

This was a very sad time for us. Clay and my son were good friends and Katie (his sister) and my daughter the same. I played football with them in the open area of our complex. I never saw that side of Clay but only maybe a year later he committed his terrible crime. His parents were awesome. Very good to their children. Does anyone know why this happens? Tim
