Also, this forum may be about music, but music and gov't do intertwine. Though things have lightened up considerably over the past couple of hundred years, their was a time when you could be executed for playing a triad. The reality is that music can be very powerful and governments recognize this and try to control it to a certain extent. I'm sure we've all seen how a powerful set of lyrics set to powerful music can wind a crowd up, and from that can imagine some such thing being a serious threat to people in power.
Hell, the whole genre of Ska was invented to help the Jamacan people feel motivated and enlivened after they won their independance from Brittan.
I know that if the wrong people come into power that my music will be in danger. I hope the day never comes, but if it does, I hope I'm strong enough to fight it for all I'm worth and make them regret the day they first pondered censorship.
