Well I like Mrs.Carter..the lady is on her money hustle and trying to keep her "Brand" relevant for this fickle music industry.She's a businesswoman. .that's what I think.But to answer the culture question..well America is too full of different cultures to ever be "bland" in my opinion.Just visit New York sometimes..And you're bound to run across an entire borough of any nationality..complete with their own foods,language and "gods".Yes music and media can have a good or bad influence on people. .But some unbelievers think that the Bible has a bad influence on us Christians..especially when we come against what scripture calls sin. But that's just my opinion.
