Censorship apology buys Kiam no new thing By John Volmers After a Florida judge banned 2 Live Crew’s album, As Nasty As We Wanna Be, and after Judas Priest went to court because lyrics on their album. Stained Glass had supposedly caused two youths to commit suicide, we find the issue of censorship once again making headlines. It’s as if we’re all whisked back to the 1950s and subjected to Bible-toting puritans telling us the movies, music and television

shows we watch are the work of the devil. Bands such as 2 Live Crew and Judas Priest, whose lyrics exist only to spark rebellion in teenagers and anger in adults, are not the only ones that have suffered attacks by moralist groups because the content of their lyrics and live shows. Even memorable rock artists has been the victims of attempted censorship at one point in their careers. Elvis was too sexual. The Beatles’ haircuts were too long and even Amadeus was considered too risque for his time. These artists all managed to overcome the bad publicity that surrounded them and become successful despite, or sometimes because of, the controversy. The gap, however, between the Beatle bashing of the 1960s and the power-hungry Florida judges of the 1990s has not been that big. During the 1970s songs such as Imagine, Hotel California, Snowblind and Bat Out Of Hell, were all boycotted by religious groups and certain radio stations because of the so-called bad messages they contained. Can you believe that all of these songs were about the devil? Religious groups at that time wanted you to. Although these accusations were ridiculous, it is easy to see the real reasons why “moralists” wanted to rid the world of these songs. Imagine was merely targeted because of the line “Imagine there’s no heaven”. Meatloaf’s Bat Out Of Hell had a questionable name and album cover. Hotel California featured the line: “We haven’t served that spirit here since 1969” (it supposedly refers to a satanic church which started in California that same year). And Styx’s song Snowblind was about cocaine addiction (although religious groups might also have been peeved over the band’s decision to name themselves after a river

in hell).

Whatever the reasons, boycotting these songs seemed to have accomplished little more than sparking more interest in these bands. Y ou would think that after religious groups failed to suppress rock music, it would have given the new breed of witch hunters a hint that censorship simply does not work. However, during the late 1 980s it started all over again. This time it was not a religious group making the fuss, but a small gathering of bored housewives. The Parents Music Resource Centre is a group made up partly of U.S. senators’ wives who have convinced the courts that bands with controversial lyrics should include warning labels on their albums. Besides the fact these stickers go against the artists’ civil rights, they are also not going to accomplish anything accept selling more records. the immortal Donny Osmond once warned, people are going be more interested in buying the albums with stickers than the albums (like Donny ’s) without them.

So although censorship has just started making headlines again, it has never really gone away. Censorship will always be around because people can’t realize that it has never worked and never will. The next time you hear a band that offends you, I suggest you simply turn off the radio. If the band has little more to offer than racist or sexist lyrics, they’ll soon go away. appreciate letters to the editor but we reserve the right to edit them.
