Should Music Lyrics Be Censored?

by Beth Rosenthal

Overview

Freedom of expression is something we rely upon to be able to say what we want, when we want, no matter the consequences. This freedom is especially important in Art, where we address our society's strengths and weaknesses through meaningful work. Can this freedom go to far? Can some lyrics in songs create hatred or violence in daily life? This book examines issues related to the censorship of music lyrics. Includes primary and secondary sources from a variety of perspectives; eyewitnesses, scientific journals, government officials, and many others.
