Music Censorship

Music and Censorship

In our society today, some musicians and their music drain and plague the moral and
spiritual well-being of the people; therefore, censorship offers a necessary action that
we must take to keep the world from becoming a land of decadence. The musicians
lives are not examples for the children or the adults. The lyrics of many songs are not
suitable for anyone. All types of music need some kind of censorship. Censorship
makes a person realize that music is good for the heart. Censorship totally makes
people act better, and when thinking better, this sustains a better society. The lives
of some musicians contain types of anarchy and self-gratification. Once the musicians
realize that people want not just their music but them as well, they act as gods, which
no one can touch. For example, think of it like a secret dictatorship, and we breathe as
a fascist society, which puts fun and feelings above the Lord, above all. Many of the
musicians consist of non-religious people who live only for fun and only for
themselves. Why then would we, especially as Christians, put our total devotion in
them? It exists like wanting to ride with a blind driver rather than one with perfect
vision. In addition many of the musicians use drugs and stimulants to satisfy their
hunger for themselves and for pure fun. The musicians tend to use drugs massively,
to get out of the very real world that they consist so much a part of. Popularity seems
pleasing but when one has the affections and total devotion of a mass of people, that
person can not handle it because that person does not have Jesus' personality and only
He could truly control that much fidelity. One person who truly could not handle the
excitement was Jimi Hendrix(Appendix A). Instead of performing as himself and
using his talent for good, he used rebellion and used many drugs....
