Pearl Jam Censored

   Posted by: Charli   in My Thoughts

Was Pearl Jam intentionally censored during it’s internet broadcast from Lollapalooza on Sunday? The fans and the band seem to think so. Although AT&T claims that it was a mistake, I find it odd myself that it was a song containing anti-Bush lyrics. For more information, you can read the full article here. I find it interesting that AT& T is claiming that it was a mistake, when the song that was omitted was the one that had anti-Bush lyrics. The song was Daughter and some of the lyrics were added or changed to reflect and anti-Bush sentiment. You can find those lyrics in that article. So what do you think? Honest mistake, or was Pearl Jam purposely censored. If you think it was on purpose, do you think it was AT&T’s decision or do you think the content monitor was overzealous in their duties? I’d like your opinion on this one.
