If Gore truly WAS a Tull fan, he'd have muzzled Tipper back in the 80's

The PMRC crap was the ANTITHESIS of any "Rock and Roll" mentality!

Yet another attempt to stifle rock and roll.

Their reaction to his 2003 visit is a mixture of frenzy and rapture; in interview after interview, what one fan calls the Beatles' "gentle intervention" is credited with helping to bring down the whole Soviet system, simply because they represented a creativity and freedom that had been almost totally silenced.

HAHAHA.  I'd be willing to wager that ANY successful band could have had the same effect.  They were desperate for the forbidden....

Baker, you dont have to have a brain to sing. Witness the Scarecrow.

lol. Me gusta. That one made me crack up.

Who said anything about professional musicians?

The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils;
The motions of his spirit are dull as night
And his affections dark as Erebus:
Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music.

William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

I remember on my last trip back to England going into a really rough after hours pub in Birkenhead, Merseyside where everyone was really drunk and the tension and testosterone were high. A couple of anxious young men wondering when they would get their fight for the night, others so drunk they could hardly stand...

... then out came the guitars - and the old fiddle player tuned up - and the music was raucous and random, as befitting the only 'Irish city in England'. Just people out for the music and the fun, ceol agus craic, and as I recall no one actually got punched at all...

So here's a glass for the people making their own music, but I'd like to raise another one too to those professionals who are so good that we stop for a while to listen to them. Sláinte!

Their cocks are so big and hard that girls usually scream
