hank banned songs (140* d) RE: banned songs 06 Jan 99


I think banned songs are like banned books. I took a class in high school where the books were selected from a list of those banned. About half the books on that list were worthless no good %@%&#^$&%^ and @#$^%&^% (multiplied a few times) and not worth the heat you would get from burning the dumb things.

Saddly the other half are all tied for positiongs on my top ten books list. (these 20 are number one, these 30 are 2...) Wonderful works like Huckely Berry Finn, the bible, and a few other classics.

I've noticed the same theme in songs. Many are banned for a reason. The purpose of "singing" them was to throw as much worthless profanity into 2 minutes 35 seconds as you can. The other half are wonderful, wonderful songs that have meaning on several level and even if you disagree with the point you know it is wonderful. What I want to know is how can I kill the idiot who bans the latter while keeping the former banned.
