Basis for "Sister Christian" comments?

edit

"Sister Christian," written and sung by Kelly Keagy for his own sister. It became a cautionary anthem for teenage girls across a conservative America, warning them not to "give it up before their time is due." What's the source for this assertion? I looked up this song today precisely because I remember that no one in my college was sure what the song was saying (as in message) and 20 years later, I'm still unsure. I went to a pretty conservative school, so if it had been widely understood to have a pro-abstinence message, I feel certain word would've gotten around the school fast. We found it pretty ambiguous at the time and thought it might even be about a girl who's decided to become a nun ... Lawikitejana 23:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Just listen to/ read the lyrics. Try reading a bit beyond or beneath the surface of things. Step outside/ away from your comfort zones/ conventions and try not reading things so literally or "apparently," based on the the face value of the forward text. The original author is correct in her/ his read of the subject matter, subject content/ story/ message of the song. Ask Phil. We all knew that back in the day. The video subject matter introduces confusing elements that must be read through or further interpreted, as they add some complexity to the story that, in fact, distort or distract the audience from the core theme.

Seems this article has taken more than one shot at "conservative" values. Let's try to keep things unbiased, OK? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.221.242.70 (talk) 20:46, 8 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Jack Blades Date of Birth

edit

On Wikipedia's Night Ranger page, it states Jack Blades was born in 1955, but it states on the Jack Blades Wikipedia page he was born on April 24, 1954. Which is it and why is this incorrect? Is it too damn hard to try and locate a proper date of birth for a well-known musician?Alterego269 09:15, 11 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
