1. The 'era' is so not over! we just have to know how to deal with the new era!!! as some had written - it should not be told to her in the mussar kind of way just because it was something she might think you 'sneaked' in on. since it wasn't something you had seen openly, she may not even listen to what you have to say - she'll just be mad at the fact that 'you listened to the music I have????" it gotta be said in a kind of way that you are surprised at what she listening...
but...

Do you have teens? If you do and you think you can "control" them, you are kidding yourself. As someone wiser than me once put it when you have teens you have moved from the role of benevolent dictator to PR director. If you want them to do something, you it has to be b/c they want to, not because you think you can MAKE them do anything. This is where many parent/teen relationships run afoul. The trick is in convincing them that it is their idea or something in their interest to do.

She's not listening to *non jewish* music. *non jewish* music is gospel or church music, extolling the virtues of a false messiah. She's listening to SECULAR music. After all, you wouldn't call the Beastie Boys or Bob Dylan (to use some oldies) *non jewish* now, would you?

Like it or not, once they figure out how to get music onto their iPods on their own, without the benefit of your credit card for iTunes, there's not much you can do about it.

I wouldn't let her know that you looked on her iPod; that's only going to get her to hide things from you. Instead, pick an opportune time -- like 3 months or 6 months after she got it, and tell her that you wanted to review the rules, given the passage of time. Let her know your reasons for preferring that she not listen to secular music, and remind her that you've placed a good deal of trust in her, and are sure she'll live up to it.

you forgot chaim klein ... KISS gene simmons Tongue Out

- definitely not "non jewish" Twisted Evil

actually Gene Simmons real name is Chiam Weitzman. I believe he was born in eretz yisroel. Paul Stanley's real name is Stanley Eisen. I believe he's from Queens and he has a bachelors degree in education. These two nice Jewish boys went on to form the group Kiss with two non jews.
