OK, this is a bit odd... In a recent interview with Kerrang magazine, Serj Tankian, lead singer of System of a Down, claimed that his band is being monitored by the CIA because of their subversive lyrics. This sort of monitoring is nothing new, according to Tankian, "The Doors were seen as subversive. John Lennon was seen as subversive, and he was only preaching love and revolution". Considering how the U.S. government treated Lennon in the 1970s, I guess he has reason to worry. Anyway, for more on this, check out this article in NME.
