DON T Censor the Music and Artistic Expression

DON T Censor the Music and Artistic Expression Ann Powers said: "Don? Do not censor the music and artistic expression. Eminem music, in particular the songs "Kim" and "Stan" is a continuation of a tradition of American music and art in general: the Gothic murder ballad, which has been with us since the blues or Appalachian folk music . "Stan" is like an Edgar Allan Poe story, if you think about it. Johnny Cash shot a man just to see him die. This is something that has had a very strong long-standing culture. Moralists are supposed to get up in arms about something that has always been part of the development of literature. If you're a child, it is necessary to know the violence, hatred, death, fear. This is part of becoming an adult. And if not fed to you by Eminem, you're going to find their nightmares. The illusion that children need to be protected is connected to a kind of fetishizing of innocence, which is not realistic. "Ann Powers Music critic, The New York Times We live in a society where we are taught to hide our true feelings and emotions. When I look back at how they have been educated at school and home, and now I know what is hypocritical. Teachers and parents have tried to hide some reality.We were shown a safe world with nice people. Religion (particularly the way it is taught), which increased impression.Eminem wrong? S seems to be working for the progressive conservative people. But the very conservative people who have rejected Baudelaire or any other controversial poet or writer ever. Conservatism is a form of intolerance in general. I felt very insecure in my life and I not? I do not know how to act in the right way with people, too afraid to speak my mind.There is something that probably never, because they relate to suicide so taboo in people? s mind? Many people also accused of Goethe for his work? Die Leiden des Jungen Werthers? (The sorrows of young Werther?) Since many young people committed suicide after reading his book. Goethe not to blame, but the young? S decision ... but we really need someone to blame? No one has the right to end his life feels as if their pain is unbearable. My cousin suicicide committed when he was 15. I was surprised, but not to judge you. It 'was his decision to leave his immense pain. MTV also censored the concepts that have to do with suicide. El? Tatu? Video? Not Gonna Get us? was considered scandalous, and the picture would have been censored, not because of two lesbian girls, but it appears at the end of video.I suicide was very surprised to discover that the word? die? in the sentence? I am so sick and tired not to be admired / that I want to die, or just fired? Eminem? s song? The Way I Am ". How is this possible? How could MTV censor a word? die? as if the death? not belong to our everyday reality? Allow phrases like? People Killin ', people dyin? And hear the children crying and injured? sweet as sugar songs? Where is the love? ? by Black Eyed Peas and the courage to blame? die? in? The Way I Am? Video? As we push the hypocrisy? There are many writers and poets such as Fran? Ois Villon in the 15th century in France were regarded as shocking by the use of vulgar language. Many people want to do as if the popular and vulgar language, no? There is (I? I am sure that the same people who use their private life). Popular and vulgar words are part of our culture too, there is no reason to ignore it. Why censor concepts, such as suicide, murder and death that are present in the music and when our children play violent games on their playstation and watch? Hannibal? e? Scary Movie? on television? A little help for the children to violence to get rid of their aggression and you should be? Not necessarly be regarded as dangerous and negative. The best way to protect our children not to hide the reality. The closest to reality are better armed to face battles in real life. I teach English and German at public schools. I am an Eminem biographer and music joualist.
