Today is my day with the cancer doctor so I want to leave you with some history….it is never too late to learn.
Think back to the early 2000s and all the mash-up about this hip hop song or another…..Congressional mental midgets held hearings to try and ban the music of a generation…..thank goodness their attempts to ban music did not succeed but it did elevate the sells of the songs and albums in question.
The conservative South has always had a hard on for music if it was not clean and wholesome (whatever that means)….in my youth songs were deemed too shameful for radio…..I am talking about rock icons and their traditionally great songs….songs like Louie, Louie, Gloria, Light My Fire, etc etc. They wanted anything that did not conform to what these narrow minded twats considered proper…..
T o show you how bad it was I have a video explaining what songs were banned and why….it is a lengthy video but you will see just how far conservatives in the South will go to control what people listen to as music.
Rock classics were not acceptable to the conservative religious twats in the South and were banned from the radio.
I remember every word, and never knew about the hoohah about them
I lived in the South and can say they were banned for awhile from the local radio….it was stupid as everything done down here. chuq
Must have been a ‘southern thing’, though some records were banned by the BBC for being ‘sexually suggestive’.
Best wishes, Pete.
It was a “southern thing” and it still happens on occasion…..mostly lead by religious idiots. chuq
