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.

Marilyn Manson Gets Sued

   Posted by: Charli    in My Thoughts

Somehow, I am not surprised at this article found on Yahoo! Entertainment News. Now, I will admit, while I’m not a voracious fan of his, I do on occasion enjoy some of his music. Not a whole lot of it, but some of it. For the most part, it’s a song here and a song there.But for some reason, to my notion, it makes sense that someone who would write the kind of songs Manson does, would do something like not honor a partnership agreement. However, what makes me absolutely sick is the implication that Manson actually did spend money for the alleged items. The Chinese skeleton was particularly disturbing. To say that purchasing such an item would be crossing the line, and then to correct the notion that the skeleton was a girl, and stating that it was in fact a boy, makes me wonder. It makes me wonder a lot.
