   I meant where were ou as in when in the era & where in the attutudes. . .   
      
   I knowe, eh? So hard to believe people made such a fuss over the Beatles, &   
   Trumpeteers before them. (one guy's jazzy rock & roll had police involved &   
   then rioting!); sorry, my memory won't pull it up, & neither does Google. . .   
   :P    
      
   I considered the music mellow, mainstream, & as inoffensive as you get, but I   
   guess just one or two trilling riffs is all it took to get certain parents all   
   afluster!   
      
   Likely there was parental banning of innovations in classical, too, back then   
   when it was new & current. . .   
      
   Even in the Bible, David was cxastigsated by some for being so into opsalmic   
   songs that he danced with abandon ("like nobody's watching"--but someone was &   
   she was quitre judgy; spoiler alert: God exonerated him for his unbridled   
   enthusiasm & punished her for being sanctimonious)   
      
   I'm fine with lookikng out for what young people are exposed to, as it can lead   
   to them losing their cuildhood/youth too early. . .   
      
   But adults should have carte blanche in listening, reading, & viewing choices!   
      
   If their choices lead to crimes beijng copmmitted to fulfil the demand, t hen   
   they are abettingthosecrimes by buying, & that's a separate crime to be dealt   
   with as a crime actually done.   
      
   Preferring harder rock or bluer comedy is not a crime in USA or Canada, per   
   both Constitutions!   
      
   The ratings thing was never helpful in limiting exposure, as everyone(including   
   children) started buying those marked R most!   
      
   My theory is the industries (film & music) wanted those ratings in lace, but   
   were happy to make it seem as if the censors did it!   
      
   The more you forbid some thing the more it's desired.   
      
   -R & X & XXX rated films   
   -trashy comic books (the ones castigated in the '70s are now standard)   
   -anal sex (my theory is nobody wanted it until a woman said "the marriage bed   
   may be sacred, but not 'there'" then everyone had to have at 'er.   
   -the fruit in the Garden of Eden   
      
   Did I just compare anal sex with the Garden of Eden?  Well, Sam Kinison started   
   it!
