Anything banned is on my list to buy. The list does not get updated very often, so I don’t make it a crusade to find things that are banned. But so far, I think I have:
- 2 Live Crew: As Nasty as They Wanna Be
- Rage Against the Machine: Evil Empire
Wait, that’s it? And I never even listened to the Rage Against the Machine CD. I got that back in the late 90’s, and even had to get BMG to ship me a second copy since the first one had a CRACK in it, and I never played it! If I had my big iPod at work (and if I hadn’t erased everything on it in a giant bizarro experiment to backup my laptop) I’d try listening to it RIGHT NOW.
OK, so I also read all the Harry Potter books after they banned it, and I started using Morse code on ham radio after the military “banned” it (obsoleted, really). So I guess there is some more to the banning thing and being odd.
Oh, and I’m not all that sore this morning. Just very, very tired.
i love 2 live crew. remember that video for ‘it’s your birthday’ where the female cop starts stripping off her uniform.
The subject of banning is interesting. It is one of the few reasons I might consider working in a public library someday–just to interface with the nutcases that don’t want a certain book on the shelf because it has one sentence that alludes to masturbation or something. Remember the PMRC?
There are lots of banned books at Templeton High School. Peter can give you a list. One crackpot tried to ban The Shipping News by Annie Proulx because it had the “c” word in it. Once.
you should be banned…..from entering strip joints, that is!!
