Songs Banned or Censored in the 60s
In the 1960s, music was a big way for people to speak out and share their ideas. Some songs caused a lot of trouble. For example, “Louie Louie” was looked at by the FBI because someone thought the words were bad. On the other hand, “Fortunate Son” spoke up against the Vietnam War.
These songs were not just about the words. They showed how people were feeling and what changes were happening in society. Each song that got banned or censored made people talk more about freedom, politics, and their identity.
As you learn about why these songs were stopped, you can see how they changed not only music but also society as a whole. It’s interesting to think about how something as simple as a song can make such a big difference!
