septiembre 11, 2017

Se conmemora un año más de los atentados ocurridos en 2001 en el WTC en Nueva York y en este evento la música también fue víctima. Después de los atentados ocurridos el 11 de Septiembre, la red de radiodifusoras más grande del mundo (Clear Channel) envió un memo a todas sus estaciones donde se enlistaban cerca de 150 canciones las cuales tenían la “recomendación” para no transmitirse debido a que la letra se podía considerar ofensiva o problemática, aquí les compartimos algunas de estas canciones.

AC/DC – Safe In New York City (2000)

Drowning Pool – Bodies (2001)
