Stop the Music Torture!

The Society for Ethnomusicology (yeah, I don't know what that is either) has issued definitive statement condemning the use of music for the purposes of torture. Here's a part of their press release:

• The Society for Ethnomusicology
• calls for full disclosure of U.S. government-sanctioned and funded programs that design the means of delivering music as torture;
• condemns the use of music as an instrument of torture; and
• demands that the United States government and its agencies cease using music as an instrument of physical and psychological torture.

That pretty much rules out rap and hip-hop music in any venue.
