    Nice variety of good music

    My kids (10 and 13) enjoyed the Grammy cd for this year. We got in to a very interesting discussion about the words to one song "Let's get it started." They informed me that the real words were, "Let's get retarded," which I am not sure if I even believe, but it gave me an excuse to talk to them about language and persons with disablilites and what the word "retarted" means and how back in the dark days when I was a kid people used to actually use that word.
