Especially since what he said was true. Seems the truth won't set you free.

John Denver's badass censorship speech @PMRC hearing (siding with Dee Snyder/Frank Zappa/etc)1985
In my opinion, this was the second time since the red scare of the 50s that led to cancel culture.

Jimmy the Greek. They tried with Cosell, but their pull wasn't strong enough at that time.

Not a person but solid analogy. Add Pot in there too for good measure.
Those darn minorities were smoking that leaf so we just had to make it illegal.

Not sure, but I’m sure it happened around the time Americans found too much time on their hands and so spent it on trying to change others, but still not enough time to worry about changing themselves.
Splinters in other people’s eyes are easy, but logs in their own eyes are just too difficult.

that's admittedly closer to Canceling. However, it was still rogue DJs trying to force it on a demographic that did not want to hear it.
These people would change the channel.
That is why DJs were fired.
Interesting... when KKCS in Colorado suspended DJs Dave Moore and Jeff Singer for playing Dixie Chicks, the station manager was quoted saying:
quote:
"We pulled their music two months ago, and it's been a difficult decision because how can you ignore the hottest group in country music?" station manager Jerry Grant told The Gazette newspaper.
Why do you think Jerry Grant considered the Dixie Chicks the "hottest group in country music" while simultaneously holding the opinion that no one wanted to hear them?

Didn't the state boxing commissions cancel Muhammad Ali for a few years due to draft dodging?

Tipper Gore (that's Al Gore's wife), was responsible for the movement that was to censor music. Naturally, this was blamed on Conservatives.
Oh, come on.
The Parents Music Resource Center was founded by the "Washington Wives" -- of whom, yes, Tipper Gore was the most outspoken:
Tipper Gore, wife of Senator Al Gore (Democrat)
Susan Baker, wife of Treasury Secretary James Baker (Republican)
Nancy Thurmond, wife of Senator Strom Thurmond (Republican)
Pam Howar, wife of realtor Raymond Howar (Republican)
Peatsy Hollings, wife of Senator Ernest Hollings (Democrat)
Sally Nevius, wife of Washington City Council Chairman John Nevius (Republican)
Apparently, there were 22 wives involved at the group's peak, but I can't find who the others were.
It was funded by Joseph Coors, of the beer company, and Mike Love, of the Beach Boys, who were Republican donors. Senator Paula Hawkins (Republican) wasn't part of the group but testified before congress in favor of the PMRC during the famous hearing.

When one side controls pop culture, they will always engage in massive censorship Of opposing views

Boycott =/= Canceling

No. Radio stations announced that they would not play Dixie Chicks immediately after it happened
Canceling would be when radio stations didn’t play Morgan wallen, even though the core fanbase of those stations still wanted to hear him
You are smart enough to understand the differences here

I don't think some people understand what cancel "culture" is.
People have been getting in trouble for things they say and do since the beginning of history.
Fatty Arbuckle's career being destroyed by false rape accusations wasn't cancel culture though.
Cancel Culture largely originated with social media, particularly Twitter.
The ability to form an outrage mob quickly and constantly fueled it.
The mid 2010's is when Cancel Culture became a thing, that is actively going out of your way to target and destroy people or businesses, for politics or just for sport.
