Why is Eric Clapton’s song “Cocaine” not censored on the radio, but drug references in rap songs are?
Question by Anonymous: Why is Eric Clapton’s song “Cocaine” not censored on the radio, but drug references in rap songs are?
Eric Clapton: “…When your day is done and you wanna run; cocaine. If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues; cocaine…” This is obvious reference to recreational/self medicating illegal drug use.
If this song is acceptable, other drug references in music should be too. The importance or necessity of the lyrics is irrelevant; the right to express yourself takes precedent over the value of such expression.
