I agree. But on the other hand, there's zero chance of some lefty mayor doing that. However, having a public figure letting people know this music is cancer could still be beneficial.

Yeah I feel ya, if Mayor Adams wants to tell people this music is bad, and convince them not to listen to it, more power to him. Free speech should absolutely mean that he has the right to criticize something, I just don't want this to turn into some new hyper wokeness where they start to legislate what speech is illegal for the 'public good' (I'm thinking along the lines of vaccine 'misinformation'). I think there is a philosophical parallel here, and the Dems have shown themselves to be untrustworthy regarding enforcing speech lately.

Balancing freedom with the public good is a really tough balancing act, and the left has been really shaky on this issue of late.
