![]() The people who censored this song didn’t really have an understanding of the true meaningof what Denver was singing about. His song “Rocky Mountain High” was previouslycensored and banned from many radio stations as being a “drug related” reference. Some barriers John discussed having previously encountered in the beginningare having his own music censored. The speech starts out with John Denver speaking on how he feels honored and privileged to appear before the chairman and the committee also voicing how in this society he is able to speak his mind and speak his own opinionsin public. At first I thought he wasagreeing and advocating for the censorship of music but after thinking about it Iswitched my thought to he’s advocating against the censorship of drugs and alcohol aswell as explicit lyrics in music. After both listening to and reading through this speech a few times I think I havean understanding of what John Denver is trying to say.
