Rap music

When we first learn to drive, or teach our kids, it s serious business. Turn the off rap music and pay attention. Both hands on the wheel. Know your blind spots. Then we pass the exam, put the rule-book away, and go about the business of becoming habituated — accustomed — to a lifetime of driving. Future lessons we ll likely learn the hard way, with red flashing lights in our rearview mirror, etc. 

Bowen, Ezekiel, 144, where she proposes an analogy to rap music, where the ugliness and brutality of rap is a form of truth telling (144) however, a critical difference is that rap music does not have the authoritative status that the Bible has for many of its readers.
