Update: David Isenberg talks about AT&T and censorship.
AT&T says that it was simply a mistake that their content monitor cut a bit from Pearl Jam’s performance of “Daughter” during the Lollapalooza webcast last Sunday. The fact that the lines discussed George Bush had nothing to do with it:
George Bush, leave this world alone.
George Bush find yourself another home.
In the world of Bush criticism, this is tame. No obscenities, for example. But AT&T, (in a fit of patriotism?) decided it was too much for the audience. And not even their audience. They are protecting all citizens that might want to listen to the webcast whether AT&T customers or not.
