"In another disconcerting development, some rock artists promote and glorify suicide. Ozzy Osbourne sings "Suicide Solution"; Blue Oyster Cult sings "Don't Fear the Reaper"; AC/DC sings "Shoot to Thrill." Every year half a million teenagers attempt suicide. More than 6,000 succeed. Yet too many of the executives of the rock record industry apparently don't care." -Tipper Gore

Well I don't really think Don't Fear the Reaper is about suicide....I mean if you wanna go there Stairway to Heaven could very well also be about suicide. But neither are, I think Dont Fear The Reaper is about how death is natural.

Anyway, yes in these twisted times I think we should have censoring. I mean songs abotu rape? That's horrible! Yes sexual inuendos have always been in rock, but theres a difference between inuendos and graphic immages.
