Fieldtrip!

The museum trip was more exciting than I expected. I liked how laid back this one was compared to a history museum. It definitely was more contemporary. My favorite exhibit would have to be the censorship in music display. Many songs from the 50s through today have been banned from the radio. Today when you think of vulgar lyrics, you think of 50 cent or Gorgortoh. Well maybe only I would think of Gorgoroth, but anyway. Back then people thought Cindi Lauper, The Beatles and George Michael had dirty lyrics. I just think it's crazy how our perceptions on what is right and what is wrong have changed over the past few years. Lyrics just keep getting more inapropriate.
Freedom of speech doesn't seem to be a large part of our lives. Sometimes people take too much advantage but others use it well. I believe music should not be banned nor cencored. It is the parents job to control their childern. It is just unconstitutional to ban music.
