The high/low-point of the battle with the
PMRC was when the Zappa album "Jazz from Hell" was immediately labelled with a "
Parental Advisory:
Explicit Lyrics" sticker as a knee-jerk reaction by the group and thus banned from
Wal-Mart and other such
evil chain-stores, despite being an
entirely instrumental album. A strong argument against this type of
censorship as it shows just how ill-informed the reasoning behind it actually is.
For an introduction to Zappa, get the Rykodisc album "
Cheap Thrills", which should sell for less than
four quid (or probably about
eight dollars in
Amerikkka.
Scatalogical rock'n'roll,
jazz freakiness and a song called "My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama".
