Should songs with questionable lyrics be banned?

Pinball wizard by The Who contains these lyrics
[quote] That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball[/quote]
Or Junior's Farm by Paul McCartney
[quote]I was talking to an Eskimo
Said he was hoping for a fall of snow [/quote]
After all Dr Seuss had his book banned for showing an Asian eating rice
I personally feel there was no intention of ill will

Not at all. People vote with their wallets on the music they like.

Those who blast their music and violate the hearing of [b]others[/b] at odd hours should be addressed by law enforcement.

But headphones make good neighbors without restricting rights.

@bijouxbroussard My neighbors listen to the best music on the planet.

Whether they want to or not.

@LordShadowfire Well, there was that time in my 20s when I drove through the neighborhood, windows down, blasting classical music…just to make a point.
No one complained, but they looked very confused. 🤔

@bijouxbroussard I love that. Also I don't sit outside listening to music, because there's too many bugs. I just couldn't resist.
