The same is true of music censorship. When a parent takes an active role in selecting their child's music purchases - we applaud. When record companies insist upon placing warning stickers on albums to aid those parents - we raise an eyebrow. Our music reflects that preoccupation. Music, like all art, mirrors the society that creates it, listens to it, and makes it a part of life.
Music censorship follows that same principle.
This book is about music, of course - but it is also about us, Americans. About what it means to be an American. About the actions we take when those American ideals clash with the beliefs of our fellow Americans. This site and all its contents are the intellectual property of Eric Nuzum.
