Todo está orientado al sexo y al cotilleo, y es una vergüenza que esas sean las cosas que están en primer plano, en la mente de la gente, esas son las cosas que te hacen popular, lo que llevas o lo poco que llevas, y no tiene nada que ver con la música, nada que ver con los deportes, nada que ver con las cosas en las que tantas comunidades depositan su fe. Es un lugar triste en el que estar.
