📗 Libro en inglés TABOO TUNES: A HISTORY OF BANNED BANDS & CENSORED SONGS

From the Taliban to Tipper Gore, political establishment "control freaks" have frequently responded to the perceived societal dangers of music by attempting to suppress its ability to communicate the "wrong" ideas. Largely concentrating on attempts to censor American post-war popular music, but not infrequently bringing in examples from other places and times, this historical survey devotes separate chapters to censorship efforts based on charges of promoting licentiousness, drugs, devil-worship, violence, and political subversiveness. The book also includes a foreword by former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
