   Maybe they didn't like the later, psychedelic stuff the Beatles did but my   
   understanding is that they were up in arms about them long before then.

   I cannot remember his name now, but there was a very controversial   
   violinist back in the day.  I forget the story now, but he supposedly had   
   women fainting in the aisles.  This would have been sometime before 1900   
   (maybe before 1800!).

   A lot of it can.  I feel like today, most parents do little to keep them   
   from being exposed.

   Yes, the explicit lyrics labels.  I am certain they sold a few records.
