Various groups wanted a ratings system for records so that kids could be stopped from buying music with explicit lyrics. They were quick to say that it wasn't about censorship; they just wanted kids and parents to be informed.
Of course the moment the system was in place, the movement began to purge those records from stores. Because HOW DARE they sell them - even behind the counter and hidden from view - in the same stores where children were shopping!
The same thing happened with television. The TV-14 and TV-M ratings were put in place to inform people, and to move such shows to later in the evening. Again the claim was that the system was not - no sir, not at all - for censorship. But instantly there were demands from folks like Reverend Wildmon, that the network drop those shows altogether. Wildmon also campaigned against Blockbuster Video for stocking NC-17 rated movies.

Albert Collins!
Took me a while to learn how to convert mp3 files to .wmv for youtube, but finally got it. Now I have to figure out how to add a picture.
This was a gig when she was in college.
During a New Year's Eve busking session in Leeds, UK, Jonathan Walker was approached by a homeless man who asked if they could jam together. Walker didn't know whether the man could sing, but he'd seen him on the streets before and decided to let the man join him….

Gather round children lemme share an eagles story.
Twas out in the far off land of Colorado. Had eaten a bunch of tasty Colorado treats and smoked some of God's best green grass. It was late at night and and some friends and i were sitting around some candles passing round the music device, taking turns picking tunes. JTAs turn arrives, and what does he pick? Peaceful Easy feeling by the eagles. 10 minutes pass and I forget doing this. My song comes on and I get super fucking weirded out. I felt as if I were in a lodge weathering a winter storm on a prairie in Wyoming. I was sure of it. I was not feeling peaceful, nor easy, nor feeling much in general because my face was numb and I couldn't move anything cept fr my hand which was rhythmically shoving mints and popcorn into my mouth.
Only after peaceful easy feeling went off did I again regain my peace and easyness and feelings. It was good to be back in Colorado. Fuck Wyoming.
You aren't doing it wrong if no one knows what you are doing.
