Has pat boone completely lost his freaking mind?

Unfortunately people lack common sense and taste so some censorship maybe necessary since what is considered "art" is often offensive to a decent person. OTOH those without any moral boundaries or common sense get offended by the very thought of possessing these normal attributes. I suppose those who support an anything goes mentality feel confused when others object to a bohemian mindset.

I agree to this extent. If the "artist" is tax payer funded then yes he should be limited in his "art". If the artist is self-funded then he can do what he wants. I think under those rules the "piss Christ" would have been relegated to a gay bathhouse where it could be better "appreciated".

Of course not. His comments are perfectly rational coming from a man whose career was parasitic on censorship of "race music". Because many radio stations wouldn't play music by black rhythm and blues artists, white teenagers were stuck with Pat's atrocious covers.
