In 1986, Maryland proposed the idea of censorship on music lyrics and videos.  Frank Zappa was an advocate for not censoring music, and as a result, he was invited to appear on CNN's show Crossfire.  In this clip, Zappa states that music should not be censored because the musicians are given the right by the first amendment.  John Lofton, an advocate for censorship, argues with Frank and tries to get his point across, but fails o do so, mainly because he doesn't have one.  In this clip, Frank Zappa tools on John Lofton and the other commenatators, who constantly cut him off when he is making a point.  Anyway, Zappa is amazing in this clip, and John Lofton should burn in hell!
 
Obviously most, if not all of you agree with Frank Zappa on this, but I am interested to hear any justifiable arguments supporting censorship in music today.  21 years later, some of these issues are still present.  I agree with Frank that they are just words, and should not be censored at all.  Music does not lay down the laws, it is an art, and the lyrics should not be picked apart word for word, but are just there.  They are the musicians works of art, and should not be tampered with.  Please feel free to argue with me and Frank, or support us.
