It carries alot of weight as she wears both hats as young person and influencer, and in the absence of traditional family structures, media had become the new parent. I wish more artists could watch this clip and understand their responsibility in shaping this and future generations.<br /><br />On a separate note, it was also good to see adults, whom I would love to believe are the parents of the young people, in the crowd at the concert. A generational divide will only be breached when we as adults become more immersed and knowledgeable in their world and about their culture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
