Although they take their name from a Nuge song and use a Confederate flag in their imagery, The Pussy’s politics ain’t god, guns, and gay-bashin’– they run both red and blue. In fact, on the band’s fifth album From Hell to Texas (SPV), they assail religion on “Lazy Jesus” (“God’s just a king with a lot less money”) and bash “The Late, Great USA.” “We walk the line,” Suys says. “The party we vote for is
the Party party.” The song, she continues, is about returning home from Europe to notice the little differences between here and there. “Some of the freedoms over there are different… like, you know, hash and nice, state-sponsored hookers.Then you come back to America, land of supposed freedom, and you’re not allowed to smoke 50 feet in front of a building and shit. It’s like, ‘What the fuck?”{read more}
1) Stravinsky earned fame as a composer for Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, a Russian company based from 1909 to 1929 in Paris. Three ballets The Firebird (1910), Petrushka (1911), and The Rite of Spring (1913) secured his reputation both as continuator of the traditions of the Russian national school and as fearless modernist. An early project was his arrangement of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” which became a cause célèbre and was banned in Boston in 1941.

3) Gustav Mahler …another demonstrative incident during his leadership of the Vienna Opera was his attempts to present Richard Strauss’ opera, “Salome”. Mahler was a basically prudish man, and his wife, Alma Mahler, later stated that he had argued against Strauss setting Wilde’s “Salome”. Strauss, of course, went ahead and composed the piece, submitted it for production by the Vienna Opera, and was informed that the Censorship Board had banned the work due to Strauss’ references to Christ and “the representation of events which belong to the realm of sexual pathology…” Rather than agree with the Censor, Mahler instead argued to “…in matters of art only the form and never the content is relevant, or at least should be relevant, from a serious viewpoint. How the subject matter is treated and carried out, not what the subject matter consists of to begin with-that is the only thing that matters. A work of art is to be considered as serious if the artist’s dominant objective is to master the subject matter exclusively by artists means and resolve it perfectly to the ‘form…'”.

5) The Kingsmen – Louie Louie was banned by a bunch of radio stations for undecipherable lyrics.
6) Dead Kennedy’s – Frankenchrist was the record that earned the band its greatest notoriety. The album came under attack immediately – due to a poster that was included – Swiss artist H.R. Giger’s Penis Landscape, an illustration of penises and anuses. Within a year, the band and Alternative Tentacles were prosecuted under Californian anti-obscenity laws for distributing pornography to minors. The band spent two years in a legal battle over this matter, and it was finally dismissed due to a hung jury in 1987. Jello became known as not only a staunch advocate of free speech during the trial, but also as a big opponent to the PMRC – the “moralistic” group battling with the band.
