AT&T Censors Pearl Jam

Perl Jam has this troubling message that AT&T consciously or not censored their performance of Daughter when Eddie Vedder sung the lyrics "George Bush, leave this world alone." and "George Bush find yourself another home." To the tune of Pink Floyd’s “Another brick in the wall”

The thing that I find mind boggling about these attempts to censor artists that big media never seems to understand is that, it will be discovered and when it is, it will be blown to huge proportions. If AT&T would have simply let them sing their song it would have been heard, but not remembered by thousands of people. By censoring it the bloggers, podcasters, and little media of the world jump on the opportunity to point the finger and people will listen and remember this as one of the many times that big media tried to control what people are saying.
