Pearl Jam closed Lollapalooza this year,and they're saying that AT&T censored their anti-George Bush lyrics in their "Blue Room" performance. Their lyrics of "Bush,go home" are pretty innocuous. It's not gangsta rap. It's not violent. There aren't even profanities. Yet their two anti-Bush verses were deleted out in their webcast performance.

Is this instant replay of the Dixie Chicks kerfuffle?

    Not surprising, but I don't see what the problem is. Pearl Jam agreed to perform at a festival made possible by corporate sponsors...sponsors can censor whatever they want. It's sad, but again...not surprising at all.
