Which Version Of “Hurt” Would You Prefer? Nine Inch Nails versus Johnny Cash The song “Hurt” written by Trent Reznor and originally performed by his band Nine Inch Nails is a melancholy, haunting song. Nine Inch Nails’ version was recorded in 1994 and rerecorded and released by Johnny Cash in 2002. Each of the performers has a style, which some people would argue is at opposite ends of the spectrum of popular music; one is what is referred to as “Industrial Rock”, the other is country. Indeed

The radio was one of the few cultural delights available and Triple J was my platform into the world of modern music. Two-thousand and five was also the year Nine Inch Nails released their album titled, “With Teeth.” I first heard the song, “The Collector” while shopping for a sundress in town. It was not the song that caught my attention, rather the oddness of such a discordant sounding genre being played in an

The practice of censorship is defined as “...the act of changing or suppressing speech or writing that is considered subversive of the common good.”(Merriam-Webster). Old forms of censorship included not allowing airplay, refusal of sale, and refusal of publishment. The major issue found with those that oppose censorship, is that they have no real grounds to

Marilyn Manson has been pushing the envelope of the right to freedom of expression since his controversial "shock rock" antics began in the early 1990's. His methods are strange and rejected by most of society, as it cannot understand what he is trying to achieve. Many people believe that Marilyn Manson is bizarre, seeing him wearing women's clothing, applying heavy facial makeup, and covering himself with jewelry.

Marilyn Manson was born Brian Hugh Warner on January 5th, 1969. Knowing who Brian is today you would’ve never thought that he had a pretty normal childhood.

For my assignment I decided to use the song “The Hand That Feeds” by Nine Inch Nails. I discovered this song a year or so ago and really liked it. I put it on my phone where it was barely listened to, but when I looked though my phone specifically for a political song, this one called out to me. When I listened to the song I found a much deeper meaning that before and realized what this is actually about. Needless to say, I enjoy the song much more knowing what the lyrics actually mean. I finally
