It was indeed banned on a lot of stations,not all.It was in part why
John testified at the Senate when they were considering putting
warning labels on music.Against the warning labels.It is spoke of in
his book,An Autobiogphy,Take Me Home. And in most movies,TV bios made
about him since his death.It was said when he released the song Rocky
Mountain High and even to this day that it talks about drugs and
substance abuse. John has said he was talking of a Natural,back to
nature 'high'. The feeling he had being in/with nature. Also the
reason I think the state of Colorado hasnt adopted it as its state
song to this day and also why John as a finalist for a space shuttle
mission wasnt selected. Times have changed really since then. If you
ask me warning labels should be put on some country music that is
very explicit. As with Conway Twittys music. What comes to mind is
his song "I want to lay you down",among others.I like country music,
I like Conway Twitty. I just think its a bit un-fair,even to this day
it seems to be a Rock/Pop problem. With out them looking at their own
music.
My thoughts anway.
