Now that's a proposition that needs some evidence to substantiate it.
People have been using that argument against rock since the 1950s.  Ozzy
Osborne and AC/DC were sued claiming their songs caused suicides.  The
arguments didn't stand up in court and I've never seen any scientific
studies to support it.  I listened to AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds" hundreds of
times when I was a teen and I have yet to hire a hitman.  Though I'm still
working on my list . . .
