"There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we'd all love one another."
intresting debate on music centership, only really intresiting to see how a bunch of idiots try to attack a musician with a reputation of being incredibly witty and intelligiant. it's a bit like watching four 80 year old's trying to take on a professional boxer who can't really be bothered.
i aslo read this a few years back and found it quite shocking that the brighton council would ban all homophobic music. excuse the source http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-499691/Brighton-city-ban-rap-music-offends-gays.html
if i rember rightly it was more due to a Jamaican dancehall artist coming to Brighton who i believe had been convicted of homophobic assaults and aslo sang about them. he was orgianlly to play at the Concorde but the show got canclled. don't really know where i agree with these actions, the cancelling of the gig is understandable but at one point it was talked about not allowing cd shops to sell artist like eminen and 50 cent, which seems a extreme action for a city that embraces it's gay populous surely these actions should be resevered to the majority of the places where very little is done about homophobia, if any action should be taken. as zappa infers in the above video these are words which illicit thoughts but are not the main influence on peoples actions. this kind of centeroship does not allow for these view to be openly challenged, it just mearly sweeps underlying issues out of sight.
