So I'm not a fan, but I heard about this on the radio, that Nelson's album was "censored" by Wal-Mart, because a pot leaf was unacceptable as a cover.

So now I'm curious. I know other countries often have edited covers and censored music, and we've got quite the number of foreigners. Pot leaf or Palm Tree worldwide?

(I care less about the music and more about the advocacy issues, but still...)

Indeed.

I dislike their advocacy disguised as "family values."

And guns. But after Michael Moore's fat ass got involved, they stopped, didn't they?

But anyway, I've seen afew covers with pot leaves on them over here. I think it was on a Snoop Dog or Dr Dre album or something.

That was K-Mart, actually.

And I don't think the ycompletely stopped.

Yeah, but in Dre's case, it's for medicinal purposes. He IS a Doctor, after all.

Wal-Mart's bigger, they apply more censorship and push their own agendas further?

They cause more damage in terms of human rights and economies?
