Explain how john denver connects his personal exprience with music censorship to the possible creation of a national panel to review lyrics

When John Denver testified at the Senate in 1985, he was really upset that the lyrics in his song "Rocky Mountain High" were misinterpreted as drug related lyrics by people who had never been to the Rocky Mountains. For him, suppression of society begins with censorship of spoken and written word, as it happened in Nazi Germany, and it mustn't be tolerated in any democratic society. People should be free to choose what content they want them and their children to access to, and artists should be free to express themselves in any way they feel like to.

Thus, although he was strongly against any kind of censorship, he considered that there was a need for the creation of a national panel to review lyrics so that artists wouldn't get banned in vain, since this affected their reputation and work. The panel should only warn the consumer of such content.

hancock was president of congress when the declaration of independence was adopted and signed. he is primarily remembered by americans for his large, flamboyant signature on the declaration, so much so that "john hancock" became, in the united states, an informal synonym for signature.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
