The First Amendment Center is offering "Freedom Sings," a live CD recorded last year at Nashville's Bluebird Cafe featuring such performers as Steve Earle, Kim Richey and Dan Baird singing songs that have been banned or deemed controversial.

Now, there's banned, and then there's "banned." According to USA Today, Baird covers the Rolling Stones' "Street Fighting Man," which was "shunned by several radio stations in 1968." Radney Foster and Bill Lloyd cover "In the Ghetto:" "Advisers urged Elvis Presley not to record the song about struggles with poverty."

Shunned by several radio stations? Urged by advisors? This is censorship? One is reminded that--never mind airplay--there are countries in which a concert like the Bluebird show would be quickly shut down and the participants arrested.

Yes, a lot of the songs on the CD couldn't get airplay. But what does get airplay in America? Answer: Blossoms of crap from the crapfields. liveDaily Briefly, a Steve Earle fan, has never once heard a Steve Earle song on the radio. Unjust? Undoubtedly. But censorship? We're still allowed to buy a Steve Earle CD. Of course, he won't get a fair share of the money from it, and we'll spend the better part of an afternoon trying to unwrap it. (Communist censors could only dream of a barrier to free expression as impervious as CD shrinkwrap.)

Anyway, the CD only costs three dollars, and if you think the center is doing good work, you could give them more than that. See the center's website for details.
