I do admit to some pride at times like most folks but I'm pretty much in touch with my own brokenness and hypocrisy. If you're ever curious about the inside story, let me know. Cheers, Jeff Wow – icky self-righteousness? I do admit to some pride at times like most folks but I’m pretty much in touch with my own brokenness and hypocrisy.

The co-presenter gets the point across much better when trying to raise the issue that there is no credible statistical link with "rock" music (George Michael????...eh?) and AIDS/teenage pregnancy and that music has always used sex as a lyrical tool. Frank COULD have been a little softer and open in his reasons for opposition instead of the one word replies which made him look a little dismissive. As for the Rev. Jeff Ling, I didn't think he was that bad...the other guy however was a total arsehole!!! Franks best point was when he mentioned about love and why, as a nation is America not abound with love for each other, if music is such a potent force. If he had really forced that home then THAT would have reduced their argument to a steaming pile of dog doo-doo (to coin a Zapperism).
