Frank Zappa = A genius, The debate was about music censorship, and Zappa defended his rights as an artist to express his opinions. Every phone call made for an interview about the issue, Zappa would accept the opportunity. It goes without saying that he was a very intelligent and articulate man, yet his efforts seemed wasted as he was attempting to fight the government (indirectly I suppose) once he got is opinion across through the media, they didnt stand a chance BTW Candy looks like a man.

Charlie Rose is a biased douche bag in this debate.

@MrPECKERHEADD I agree

@BillTurkeyburger In Britain a person cannot buy cigarettes until he/she is 18, as with alcohol. The under-age can always find a way round it, but it doesn't mean that the age restriction is a pointless obstacle. Likewise, someone under 18 cannot purchase a xxx porn video. Just because we cannot stop minors from coming across such things doesn't mean that some sort of age restriction is a waste of time. To have an 18 sticker on certain albums would silence the would-be censors

@MrPECKERHEADD You said so many ridiculous things...It's a hopeless cause to respond to you, so I'll just leave this quote of yours for others to see and realize what I realized about you just now. "The crime rate is decreasing, people are becoming free and open thinkers (more biased, actually), kids are safe, and we all feel comfortable walking down our streets alone at night. " Yikes.

frank was always right. my parents let me figure that out on my own. my dad loves frank 2 this day and i was raised listening 2 frank and the mothers and everything else that he did. i guess i must b morally depraved somehow! but the truth is that i work a good job after graduating from university and i live a great life of my choice and im sexually active when and with whom i choose and the woman that mr zappa debated seems like an alien from another world 2 me

i firmly believe everybody has a right to have and state their opinion on something be it rock music pornography or even racist attitudes. but one does not have the right to impose their opinion whatever it may be on anyone else

[aristotle358]

The simplest way around the issue and to avoid censorship is for record shops to have some albums with an 18 sticker on it, just as DVDs have and some video games. If a minor wishes to have such an album he/she can always ask someone of age to go into the shop and get it. Otherwise being over 18 a person has the right to listen to whatever he/she likes. Where would the harm be in that? We can listen to Dynamo Hum at leisure then-:)
