Dan frazell, a Bangor, Maine, police officer will give a presentation titled, "All In The Name of Rock 'n Roll" tonight from 6:30 To 9:30 In the Manchester high school auditorium. Manchester DARE officer Amy Morrotte said Frazell's goal is not censorship of music, but awareness. "He will talk about what parents should know about what's out there and what they can do." Marrotte said she saw Frazell's presentation during her DARE training and could not believe some of the violence and explicit sexual references she heard in some music. In addition, Marrotte said, she learned that some of the music that she had not thought was objectionable and had bought for her own 9-year-old son was, in fact, rather explicit. "I thought there was nothing my son couldn't have heard, but when I read the lyrics I couldn't believe it," she said. There is no admission fee to the presentation, but Marrotte said anyone attending must be over 18 due to the content of some of the songs that will be discussed. - --- MAP posted-by: Derek Rea
