BBC NEWS | Elton John attacks 'censorship' in US

Even Elton John has things to say about the US media situation:

"Sir Elton said performers could be 'frightened by the current administration's bullying tactics'.

The singer likened the current 'fear factor' to McCarthyism in the 1950s.

'There was a moment about a year ago when you couldn't say a word about anything in this country for fear of your career being shot down by people saying you are un-American,' he told the magazine.

The singer said things were different in the 1960s.

'People like Bob Dylan, Nina Simone, The Beatles and Pete Seeger were constantly writing and talking about what was going on."

Ask the Dixie Chicks what they think about this.
