Novelty or Necessity? - Objectionable Content and Music Censorship Must Be The Music - Radiovision
-
- Music Commentary
A PREVIEW of what's to come...
Is profanity, objectionable subject matter present in music, just novelty, or a necessity with artistic liberty taken under free speech and expression? We know that such extreme measures at curtailing music, targeting certain groups and recording artists have been happening over time for generations. In more recent years, "Rap" music has been used in criminal prosecution in a number of cases, yet music has been cited as not being of a sizable influence to everyday, normally stable people in society.
As the old saying goes, "All money ain't good money", my personal belief is that it goes for music and for almost anything that can be propagandized and marketed, having potential influence or persuasiveness over the masses. It becomes a matter of having the constitutional right to free speech and of a legally consenting consumer's right to choose. I wonder that of those in the position of a music creator, it's ultimately a matter of free expression and as a creative, what are the considerations, if any when it comes to the music one chooses to make?
Is there pressure to be more daring or more obscene than not?
Is there persuasiveness for an artist to be something they're not?
Is there a moral compass? Was there ever one?
For fans, and audiences, it's about authenticity perhaps compromising what's most appropriate for something offering true contextual perspective.
No judgment here. Judgment FREE zone. You be the judge.
In another upcoming 'ep that's a bit more babble than boogie. This is a page from the "Black Music Month's" scrapbook that we won't skim over to the next because we fear what's pictured on its page.
A fan first and a non-judgmental, perspective, and speculative assessment at most is on the MBTM - Radiovision Podcast Channel.
