Censorship of Music :: Argumentative Persuasive Essays

Censorship of unison   Music has always been a basic form of expression. From Antonin Dvorak, to Eminem, to even ancient, tribal practice of medicine, it has been a medium through which individuals convey their thoughts and expressions. Today this medium is at a lower place attack. Everywhere we turn, everything we do and say is being scrutinized. We ar being told what to say. We are being spoon-fed our emotions. No longer are we allowed to think freely, openly. All the censors erupt there are on the prowl for a nonher piece to pluck to shreds because it doesnt fit their description of what is decent and moral. What they fail to realize is that we dont make the music for them... We do it for release.         Music has often been the release for some of our most difficult times. If you are angry or sad, you go home and put in a song that relates to your feelings, making you feel better. I personally, write when Im not in the best mood. W hether Im depressed, angry, or whatever, I know that the pen is my whiz true friend, and the parchment will never tell me lies. Many tidy sum fail to see this as therapy. They see it as cursing, vulgarity, etc., just for the perdition of it. This is not true in most cases.         On Eric Nuzums (I know you admire him) website I found some interesting facts. Following the September eleventh terrorist attacks, Clear Channel Communications released a attend of 150 lyrically questionable songs that it was requesting stations remove from their play lists (Nuzum). Some of these songs were Highway to infernal region and Shoot to Thrill AC/DC, Jet Airliner Steve Miller Band, Fly scribble Ray, Another One Bites the dust Queen, all songs by Rage Against the Machine, and, to dodge all else, Walk Like an Egyptian The Bangles. Some of the songs on this list are just ridiculous to the point of hilarity Im sure 99 Luft Balloons is going to start a riot         Another amusing typesetters case was in June 1965, radio stations across the country ban the paradiddle Stones (I Cant Get No) Satisfaction because they believe the lyrics are too sexually suggestive.
