i love how zappa makes the other dudes seem completely uniformed about music. they have hardly any specific references to cite, and when they do, they get something wrong about it.
by the way, what prince song are they talking about which "advocates incest"?

Frank just clowns those guys. You realize from a distance how ridiculous the issue was then. Twisted Sister scaring people? Hilarious. It's interesting to point out the inequity between white and black artists in this debate. This is 1986 pre-mainstream rap breakthrough. The debate really focused on labeling. Tipper and her posse got the industry to put some stickers on London Calling and the like. Of course, when Ice-T got down on some realness like "Cop Killer" that got that shit pulled from the shelves. It's words, just words.
so funny that people were seeing those lyrics as "advocating" incest. If you read them (like I just did) or hear them it's pretty obvious that your sister turning you out and you begging to not have to go out on the street (and I think "service" older dudes) is
you guys should read the frank zappa autobiography "The Real Frank Zappa Book", it has transcripts from when he was in court and dude is so intelligent. "He really speaks well." Even if you're not into his music, its such a great read.
HA! It's funny how he was on of the white guys who fell under the "he's so well spoken" bulloney. It's like because his music was strange he couldn't possibly have normal thoughts and speaking abilities. Like they expected him to come on the show dressed as Howdy Doody and jump up and down saying "bulpgooglebleepdodafishbutterweedbaby!!!!!!!!!" every time he's asked a question.
