Daftar 165 Lagu yang Di-banned AS Paska Tragedi 9/11, Termasuk Semua Lagu RATM

HAI-Online.com - 11 September 2001 menjadihari yang bersejarah bagi bangsa Amerika Serikat. Sejarah yang pahit tentunya. Sebab, di tanggal tersebut terjadi serangan teroris paling mematikan dalam sejarah dunia, yang menyasar gedung World Trade Center dan Pentagon di Amerika Serikat.

Tercatat ada sebanyak 2.996 korban jiwa dari dua serangan yang dilancarkan oleh teroris dari jaringan al-Qaeda tersebut.

Tapi tau nggak? Saking traumatis peristiwa 9/11 bagi warga Amerika Serikat, sempat ada himbauan agarpara perusahaan media di negeri Paman Sam itu menyensor segala bentuk pesan yang dianggap anti-Amerika. Hal itu juga berlaku ke karya seni seperti musik dan lagu.

Clear Channel Communication (kini namanya iHeartMedia) menjadi media yang menggagas untuk dilarang diputarnya di radiolagu-lagu dengan lirik yang dinilai insensitif ke hati masyarakat AS yang tengah berduka.

Clear Channel mengirim memo ke seribu lebih stasiun radio dengan daftar lagu-lagu yang perlu di-banned. Tercatat, ada 165 lagu yang dibawakan oleh para musisi lintas zaman dan dari berbagai macam genre dalam daftar itu.

Contohnya seperti lagu 'TNT' dari band rock Australia AC/DC, yang perlu dilarang untuk diputar karenajudulnya berarti bahan peledak. Kemudian, lagu pop klasik 'Walk Like An Egyptian' dari The Bangles yang dianggap mengandung referensi timur tengah.

Mirisnya lagi, lagu-lagu dari Rage Against The Machine dihimbau untuk di-banned seluruhnya. Alasannya, banyak lirik lagu RATM yang kritis terhadap pemerintah AS.
