At the risk of starting a big fight here. Don't confuse censorship with editorial policy. Radio stations may play or not play whatever they choose based on their policy in house. I am not aware of any local or federal government censorship being enforced. But then I don't live everywhere and I am only speaking of Central New York.

Censorship is a government act or it is something you do yourself. Short of photo/vidieo representation of child pornography and snuff films even Bush hasn't been too successful at censorship of much. And that is a very good thing.

Robert Maplthorpe was a brilliant artist. His photographic technique was flawless and ground breaking. His subject mater was a bit beyond the pale at times. Other times it was not so provoking. Perhaps Bob would have been better off to self-censor a little more.
