In New Jersey, Superior Court Judge Lawrence Jones ruled against a divorced father who had asked the court to rule that his ex-wife had abused her parental discretion by taking their 11-year-old daughter to a concert by the pop star Pink.

Jones, showing that he had knowledge of the pop music field but little knowledge of the ripple effect on a child by exposing her to raunchy sexual innuendo, cited Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, and Bob Dylan, intoning that the mother "in no way, shape or form exceeded the boundaries of reasonable parental judgment" and that "her decision did not subject the child to any unreasonable risk of harm, or compromise [the child's] health, safety, or welfare." In a classic case of moral relativism, he told the father that parents can have different parenting philosophies, but the differences don’t mean one has to be wrong.

Jones quoted Pink's songs "The Great Escape" and "Perfect," and concluded, "When all the smoke from the custody litigation clears, it will be self-evident that all which happened here is that a young girl went to her first rock concert with her mother and had a really great time." The concert took place in December 2013 at the Prudential Center in Newark.

Of course, Jones did not cite the Grammys, where Pink wore a catsuit exposing nearly her entire body, or the video “Try,” which featured alternate sexually suggestive moves and violence between Pink and her bare-chested male partner.
