I remember Zappa ridiculing the puritanical Tipper Gore. That was great.

Dee Snider (who was there as well) didn't think so and thought that was unwise and that it didn't help the cause. But of course, Zappa and arrogance weren't such an uncommon mix. Nor Dee Snider and loudmouth.  :mrgreen:

If you'd start deleting sexist, risque, inappropriate, below-legal-age songs from your own personal rock and pop playlist, you'd end up with a huge amount of classic songs banned - a horrible thought. Let's not forget that "rock'n roll" was initially a term for having sex, it's as basic as that. It was Marc Almond who said: "Rock against sexism? That is like omelettes against eggism!"

The origins of the word Jazz are also naughty. Let's say it's not a coincidence that it sounds a lot like another term for a man's coital climax.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Jizzus, what do I learn here!

Groove, in the musical sense, also comes from blues phrases about a man putting his needle in her groove.

I had forgotten what a cesspool of innuendo and cheap double entendres this place is.

Remember, decorum goes out the door when music comes innuendo.

Out the back door, more precisely (that slide solo at 3:49 is to die for, no one plays slide like Blackers!).

Ist zer any truth in ze rumour that a certain notable German kollector has been AVOL for so long, as he has been clearing his name in relation to inferred misappropriation of company funds to fund aforementioned kollection...?
Zer ist no Schmoke mit ze Water without ze Fire in ze Sky, ya...? Und just vot ist ze ring tone on his phone...?  :mrgreen:

The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

My ring tone is still that fine song with the climbing minor key from the formidable Brummies. "You don't know what it's liiii-hiiiiilke ...." (police siren wailiing).

The basses are still in my office, but I need to think about culling (my spell check wanted to write "cumming" here, don't tell me about AI, it obviously doesn't exist) because we're leaving our office highrise in two years for a posh new location that - modern times, alas! - won't offer the same amount of space.  :sad: I've thought about the "Hey, I'm a senior partner here, I want my new office to be twice the size of everyone else's"-obvious-argument, but I haven't yet aligned it with my socialist convictions!

You need to open your own museum. Problem solved.

Otherwise, if you need to repatriate the SPCB, I would be willing to rescue it.

SPCB...?
