Come the 21st century, however, and the mainstream began to congeal into a certain beige perma-blandness, neither soulful or soulless, semi-tasteful, efficient pop fare made by capable, acceptable sorts, a music rich in everything but inspiration.

Oh good grief...

So I take it that there's a lot of swearing in this piece? Because the library computer won't let me see it due to 'profanity' (also 'pornography' for what it's worth).

Pop is great now, pop is always great because music is always great. Of course, it depends on what you call 'pop' I suppose...

It's blocked for me too. If I press 'Esc' immediately after the page loads and before the censor kicks in, I can read a screen's worth. Which was enough tbh.

I have no problem reading it (apart from indignation, etc.), and I can't see what is there to block. Perhaps 'Cheeky Girls' is a trigger for your server...
