I do agree its being blown out of proportion. However, he chose his battle…he has to deal with the backlash. He knew what was going to come out of it, and he wanted to use this as a platform, obviously. My view is, yes you’re an artist and can express yourself in any way you feel…but if you’re going on a network television channel and KNOW that they will disapprove of it, either don’t perform or tweak it a bit…save it for your tour or cable tv. Yes most kids are going to asleep but when I was little my parents let me stay up late on “award show nights” because I was soooo into music & dancing.
