text: Cutting Edge, If rap music desensitized those kids, then what do you say about Madam Butterfly?  It's about a military man sexually exploiting a minor who committed suicide. The musical, Oliver, has a song......."Go out and pick a pocket or two."  The guy who sang it was an "Elder" pickpocket.   After the heroine was brutally battered, extorted and forced to commit other crimes by her live-in boyfriend, she sang,  "As long as he needs me."  The song made famous by Marty Robbins,  El Paso is about shooting a guy over a girl and then getting shot himself.
