Remember years back when people were upset over Springsteen's 41 Shots and Steve Earle's John Walker's Blues by claiming songs like this were sympathetic or insulting to certain parts of the populace, when both artists explained their songs as being done from the point of view of others (if you listen to 41 Shots, Springsteen tells the story from three views - the officer, the mother and main character, while Earle did his from the parents view). Springsteen did this later with Paradise. My question is.....this same process has been done with both books and movies, but it seems those mediums do not receive the same criticisms as music does. Thoughts?
