"There's stuff out there I wouldn't want my 12-year-old to listen to, if I had a 12-year-old. Any music that condones suicide shouldn't be played. And any radio station that plays such music ought to have its license revoked. Anytime we hear anything at all about censorship in any shape of form, we all get scared to death of it, but some things are released in the name of freedom of expression that just shouldn't be."
| COLMES: |
You did a song called "Ain't No Rag." And you got into a little bit of controversy there because you said, "Ain't No Rag, it's a flag, we don't wear it on our heads." Some people thought that was slang about certain people who have been called a bad name. |
| DANIELS: |
Well, it was sang about Osama bin Laden, that bunch of cutthroats that came over here and destroyed our trade towers. Was about them and terrorists anywhere in the world. |
| COLMES: |
You know the word "ragheads" is not the -- |
| DANIELS: |
I didn't say that. |
| COLMES: |
Some people interpreted that that's what you meant. |
| DANIELS: |
I didn't say "raghead." You said "raghead." |
| COLMES: |
Do you think that it's possible that people could have interpreted that? |
| DANIELS: |
You can read anything into anything you want to, really. |
