Censorship

Controversy and music have always gone hand-in-hand. Lyrics, dance moves, and clothing, or lack of it are always in the spotlight, which generates much debate. Some call it art, others call it bad taste. As with all creative expressions, the beauty is all in the eyes and ears of the beholder.

No direct link between anti-social behavior and exposure to the content of any form of artistic expression has ever been scientifically established.
