Music and Freedom of Expression

Thread has been modified seeing as the one and only person who originally responded isn't mature enough to take this seriously. So much for that. Anyhoo, I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the relation between music and freedom of expression? For example, musicians behind the iron curtain, whether they were creating their own pieces or simply became propagandist tools so that they could continue their trade? Thanks for your thoughts.

Billy, Like I said, you resort to insults way too easily. I was more than happy to have a conversation with you and anyone else on the original topic, but instead you had to make light of it on another thread. Personally, I find that fairly dishonest. But, each to his own. It's all very easy to insult someone when you're not even in the same country as them.
