He said, “If it’s edited, that’s discrimination. I will be a little disappointed because there is a little bit of discrimination going in this country.

“Shock is fun, shock rock is like something that existed, for example, like in the 70′s, Alice Cooper…David Bowie, you had artists that liked to push the envelope and that’s what made them so fresh,” he explained. “I think that surprise is part of entertainment. I think that it keeps people watching its fun, it makes you laugh and it should be that way. And if it made you uncomfortable, maybe I’m not for you.”
