Simpson Response
The issue raised in Simpson's article appears not to be of retronationalism but seems to be more of an issue about censorship and the government's right or ability to do so. Music has always been a form of expression whether one produces it or listens to it. It leads to an understanding and expression of your innermost thoughts and feelings. I am glad to hear that the SED had trouble controlling the rock music concern at the time. When Simpson notes the attempt at imposing the ballroom dancing as opposed to the twist, i find this humorous. I went to a private shcool and it really bothered me when they tried to stop us from "freaking." This was what it was called back then or "dirty dancing." It is still called this today. The style of dancing seriously only reflects the society that we are living in. Honestly, it cannot be helped that our society uses women as sex objects and focuses way too much on sex as an vector to sell things. In this conclusion, I just have to express that censorship can only be an attempt to halt creativity and expressionism.
