Hmm...just read about how a Medford, Oregon decided to not let E-40 play a show at their teen club bc of his affiliation with 'gang culture.' Curiously, he'd played there in '01 and '03. Does this have anything to do with Frank Rich's column on the Plot Against Sex In America and, in general, the ability of government officials to arbitrarily decide what's best for people not based on law or public consent, but on 'our best judgement' or 'common sense' both of which to me signify 'the dominant ideology.' In the case of Oregon, I would imagine that the dominant ideology doesn't mean lettin anything in that 'jus grew. Has the reelection of George Bush in some way meant that for the next four years, small town conservatives have free license to censor minority opinions (or even unpopular majority opinions, say, about the war?) because of this mythical 'conservative majority' so oft quoted as a reason for the lost demo victory? Ahahahahahahaha...
I would like to believe that there is some other reason for this, and I haven't listened to E-40. Someone out there prove me wrong, please.

Looks like E-40 won't be this week's only casualty in the war against sex. Atlanta police have shut down a bar that was featuring performances of Naked Boys Singing, charging that the bad did not have an "adult entertainment" permit.
According to the article, NBS spent 6 years off-Broadway and ranks as the 10th longest-running off-Broadway show. But in this post-Janet-Jackson's-nipple world, naked people means porno (and "gay-themed" porno at that!)
