I'm not sure if this is applicable here, but when my cousin (who's the same age as me) and I were kids, my aunt practiced protective some parenting. After reading some article in the local newspaper, she freaked and made my cousin get rid of his "offensive music" (which, if memory serves consisted of his Prince and Guns and Roses cds). I don't know how I negotiated this, but the cds in question made their way to me (or clandestinely passed to me through a sharp underground railroad!).
The interesting 'where are they now' part of the story is that the cousin in question has since become an ordained minister and now basically condemns his mom for not being religious enough. How's that for thanks for the pious 'protection'?
Meanwhile, I still haven't figured out if there's been any negative effects on me for singing along to "Welcome to the Jungle," "Like a Virgin" and "Darling Nikki" as a kid besides some regrettable karaoke nights.
