Every dance we have can be connected to sex.
EVERY. LAST. ONE.

Not that I support censorship -- but if this move reduces rather than increases the amount of this hyper-macho, gun-toting, bass-heavy, swaggering bullshit I have to listen to at a stoplight, well then it's not all bad.

Bob Marley never sang dance hall songs openly calling for the lynching of homosexuals.
And yet, many of his songs would still be part of the ban.

That said: They should snatch every copy of "Legend" in the world and have a big ol' bonfire.

Based on what? Your need to retain Jamaica as some kind of drug sex crime paradise of the mind?
Yes, the policy may be too broad and needs refinement. But I don't think this merits the snark treatment.

Also everybody please stop saying "snark" except when making fun of David Denby.

Speaking of whom, will there be a post on the skewering of Snark in yesterday's Times Book Review?

Asked my lady what could I do
To make her happy and to keep her true
Said only one thing I want from you
Is a little bitty piece of that big bamboo
She want the big bamboo, always long
The big bamboo grows so bold and strong
The big bamboo stands so straight and tall
The big bamboo pleases one and all

I'm sure none of the vocalists would willingly call it "little."
