Beth: You know, I like to think of him as classic. His music never really goes out of style.

　　Eric: Right ... well what are you going to name the group?

　　Ernie: We're going to call it Chocolate Ice. Get the joke? Chocolate Ice instead of Vanilla Ice?

　　Eric: Don't worry, I get the joke. And if there's one thing that's certain, it's that everyone will be laughing at you

　　哎呀， Beth还说Vanilla Ice的歌从不过时-- "never goes out of style"! 我觉得，他的歌就从来没有时髦过， he was never "in style" to begin with!

　　P: Very funny, Winnie. So, what does Eric think of the cover band's name--Chocolate Ice?

　　他觉得这个名字太俗了，肯定会被人笑话。

　　Eric: You know guys, I'm not sure I can play in your group. The problem is that ... rap music is violent and demeaning to women. I wouldn't feel comfortable playing it.

　　Beth: That's not true! Some rappers talk about violence, but a lot of them just talk about money.

　　Eric: I know... and that's bad too! Who wants to listen to someone rap about how much money he has?

　　Beth: Well, if it were about nothing but guns and money, why does it appeal to so many young people?

　　Ernie: I agree with Beth. Besides, hip hop goes way beyond music. It's a whole culture.

　　Eric说他不喜欢嘻哈音乐，因为这种歌的内容充满暴力，而且侮辱女性。 Professor Bowman, Eric不是DJ么？他怎么会不喜欢时下流行的嘻哈音乐呢？
