Censorship

Censorship Censorship Censorship in Music is not called for in most cases. The idea of censorship in music started in the early part of the twentieth century. Gregory Black said “When Fats Dominoes’ rendition of ‘60 minute man’ came out… it left little to the imagination… Later this type of music then became known as ‘race’ or ‘jungle’ music which was about racism, social injustice, hypocrisy, and other social issues that made older Americans extremely uncomfortable.” Soon after this happened the FBI spent millions of dollars investigating rock stars. They followed stars like John Lennon, Jim Morrison, and Elvis Presley then took more than two years to figure out if the Kingsman used the “F” word in “Louie, Louie.” Later a judge in Florida ruled that 2-Live Crew’s album “Nasty as they Wanna Be” was obscene and was banned for sale because they used the “F” word 226 times in the album. It was later overturned. I believe that the government goes to far sometimes in trying to censor the music of artists. The government has also made record companies start putting labels on the CD’s because there lyrics are to “obscene”.
