The whole 'respect your elders' attitude is just the opposite side of the ageism coin
Respect must be commanded, not demanded and I have elders in my life who are just downright ignorant and lack wisdom
If you actually watch the original clip, the way TLC positioned their words and the overall message, I believe they were respectful in their delivery; however, they open themselves up for backlash because their message is not congruent with their past behavior
TLC was mostly covered but don't be fooled, the message was the same. They still sold 'sex' but it was just more of a tease. Can they really be mad at Rihanna and others for being popular in an age where transparency is more acceptable?
That's why I believe Rihanna was justified with her first response. All her actions after that were unnecessary and overkill. However, Rihanna needs to be careful. Her immaturity will open up the opportunity for people to disrespect her legacy-and that's if she will have one

You guys know that if if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is
placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will stay... meaning you can slowly add something radical without it being perceived as such
TLC must understand that they were a stepping stone to Rihanna's radical. Without them slowly raising the bar for what's acceptable "sexy"(posing semi-topless), we wouldn't have someone like Rihanna today who can just bare it all

I grew up on TLC. I STILL listen to their albums every now and then. They will forever be relevant and iconic, as far as I'm concerned (although I wish they had been iconic in terms of their financial health as well).
But I dig Rihanna too. If this woman ever markets a sexy potion, I'll be a drankin fool. I don't know what it is about her. I bet she looks sexy taking a dump.

  I missed her concert for the first time in years 2 blocks from my home . Hubby thinks D is to old to charge 135 bucks for front row seats . I thought the man was joking until I open my birthday card . Grounds for divorce after 30 years !!!!!!!!
