However, when Marilyn Manson sings about murder, he is looked down upon as a bad influence. Certainly not the Dixie Chicks. It is more likely to be artists like Manson. Censorship seems to apply only to those artists whose music is not country or pop. This is unfair.
Censorship hinders an artist's right to express themselves.
In the same way that country singers sing about love they have never really lost or places they have never really been, other artists may sing about people they may not really hate or want to harm. When did a song become more than a piece of music. Censorship also causes songs not to make sense or run smoothly. When certain words or sentences are removed from a song, the song really becomes pointless. Sometimes censorship is almost laughable.
