AT&T Censors Pearl Jam Lollapalooza Performance

Anti-Bush lyrics sung to the tune of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" by Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder during the band's "Daughter" at Lollapalooza this past weekend, were cut from AT&T's cybercast of the concert, according to Billboard magazine.

In a public statement, the telecommunications giant blamed the gaffe on "a mistake by a Webcast vendor...contrary to our policy." The company went on to admit that they do have safeguards for excessive profanity but that it "does not censor performances" and apologized for the incident.

Pearl Jam and AT&T have promised to make available the complete, unedited version of "Daughter" from the show in question online, possibly on the band's official website.
