Perhaps someday we will look at what we censor today with the same amount of amusement as what has been censored in the past. Perhaps someday people will understand, what is considered normal is everything that cause solitude and isolation and is informed from the elite downwards. No one should be able to tell us what’s right or wrong with our opinion.
Freedom of speech means you can speak your mind without the government throwing you jail. It has nothing to do with contracts between private businesses and musicians.
