Taboo Tunes — songs that have sparked controversies
down through the ages — can make for interesting
listening. It is the periodic campaigns to suppress or
censor such music, however, that are absolutely worth
keeping an eye on. And that’s why tabootunes.com
exists.
At heart, the targeting of music by its various foes
is nothing less than a crude attempt to limit what
ideas are “acceptable” — and to exert control over
what notions are allowed to become a society’s
accepted "truths." It is hoped that shining a glaring
spotlight on music censorship here will help provide
an indicator of the health of our democracy’s
traditions of tolerance.
For a definitive account of music censorship history,
please check out the new book Taboo Tunes: A History
of Banned Bands & Censored Songs — or see the Taboo
News web-log here for updates...
