record skip, everyone stares at HawlSera awkwardly, guns are cocked and pointed at her
Because when you tell a people that a piece of media is too evil and vile to ever be looked at, that only makes them wanna read it more. I guruan-fucking-tee more people have read 1984 now that they’re not allowed to!

yes they are literally banned at most schools in my state. Along with books that have LGBT charicters in them
It and Fahrenheit 451 are, ironically, among some of the most banned books in the US.
Footloose amusingly enough as well.
Is it because the title track has the line “kick off your Sunday shoes?”
Yes, and I’m glad that it is.
