During the Doors concert in Miami, in 1969, lead singer Jim Morrison,
             "did lewdly and lasciviously expose his penis and shake it. . ." (Rosen et al.
             90). Today, Billy Joe Armstrong, lead singer of Green Day, bares all at his
             concert in Philadelphia (Bernstein 95). The eccentric Courtney Love will rip
             off her bra for the audience to marvel and glorify at her action (Bernstein 95).
             She acts in such a fashion because she is insane and wants to prove it to the
             world, where as Billy Joe just performs naked for the shock value and the love
             of hearing tabloids and gossip. Both performers of past and present conducted
             strange acts on stage for the shock value and attention, but with performers of

             of these performers do have one thing in common, at one time or another,
             censorship made them victims because of their social unacceptable actions or
             the content of their music and lyrics. While censorship is slightly more
             realistic and open-minded (no more censoring performers from the waist down,
             like Elvis Presley on the Ed Sullivan show), it still affects listeners and
             their choice of music quite significantly. Although the government, music
             associations, and other various groups try censorship, the music a person
             chooses is still, and always should be, his choice.
             Some children are too young for the exposure to certain types of music. Albums
             containing sexually explicit lyrics depicting sexualacts in great detail are
