Culture has long been a focal point of sociological interest and writing (Becker 1976, 1982; Benjamin 1969; Bourdieu 1984; Simmel 1950). Popular culture studies today continue to contribute to a general sociology of culture with their focus on music (Armstrong 1993; Dowd 1992; Frith 1978; Frith and Goodwin 1990; Frith and McRobbie 1990; Kamin 1989; Pratt 1990). Some researchers, in fact, emphasize the merits of popular culture as a teaching tool (Butler, Moore, and Moore 1984; Hraba 1980; Lashbrook 1991; Martinez 1994; Reuter and Walczak 1993; Walczak, Alger, and Reuter 1989; Walczak and Reuter 1994). The work that has been done on music as a teaching tool in sociology has made an enormous contribution; similarly this note discusses using the lyrics of contemporary musical artists to illustrate general topics in the sociology of deviant behavior
