The song that got Tipper all fired up about was "Darling Nikki" from
Purple Rain.  She got a group of friends together to try to get
congress (i.e. their husbands) to pass a bill supporting the 
labeling of record albums, much like the movie rating system.

I did a term paper on the PMRC, what they tried to achieve, and the
results a few years ago.  It was interesting reading through all the 
transcripts from the Senate Hearings that took place.  The two people
who testified strongly against the labels were Frank Zappa (who put
a label on his next release that mocks the PMRC) and Dee Snider, the
lead singer from Twisted Sister.  Reading Snider's testimony about
how he is a caring father to his children, doesn't drink or do drugs,
etc. was interesting.  I guess that his only vice was wearing heavy
eyeliner and mascara.

A few years ago (and several times since), Tipper has publically stated
that the hearings were a mistake.  Her intention was not censorship but
a way to educate the consumer and particularly parents about what type
of music is out their for their children to buy.  Overall, her intentions
were good, but got blown out of proportion.

It is a complete misrepresentation of the facts to say that Tipper 
wanted to control your life.  Have you asked her if that was her 
intention?  Has anything you've ever read or heard her say 
corroborrated that?

>Forcing someone to labels according to
 ^^^^^^^
>an arbitrary standard promotes censorship.

She might well agree with you.  If you'd read any of the postings 
that detailed the nature of what she actually DID propose, and her
subsequent statements after the implementation  of her original 
idea ran into problems, you'd have read that she was proposing 
VOLUNTARY labelling.  Whether such a proposal is effective, whether 
it's hard (or impossible) to enforce reasonably, or whether it's subject 
to abuse are all certainly arguable points.  But to suggest that her 
intention was to control the lives of people other than HER OWN 
children is bullshit.

>
>If Tipper just wanted to help parents, she could have published a

Again, she might well agree with you.  From what >I<'ve read
in the papers and heard on TV, she now admits that her first
impulse (proposing voluntary labelling) was not a
good way to achieve what she wanted, which was to provide
concerned parents with information to be able to screen potentially
offensive music from their children.  Now does it make sense
that for her to admitted her mistake if she wanted to censor 
you or Prince or anyone else?  Hardly.

Talk about preaching to the choir, I'd bet that noone reading 
rec.music.gdead advocates censorship.  Heck, I'll bet a whole run
of tickets to hear the Boyz that that's not what Tipper Gore
advocates, either.  And I'm completely certain that you can't prove 
that that's what she intended. 

Wish some people would read a little before they pollute the
net with misinformation and hyperbole.

for the person who asked about biking to the veneta show
from eugene. actually, there are a couple of routes you
can take, one of them a "back" way that will probably
be fine for bike riding. let me know if you still want
to bike as the show gets closerand i'll pass along directions.
what you do with the bike once you get there, i'm not sure
about but i imagine there will be bick racks somewhere.

not all of the neighbors hate us (the oregon country fair).
some of us are quite friendly, especially those who are
going to make big bucks from the GD concert. i think kesey
et al signed contracts with various neighbors for camping
space so camping should be free to concertgoers. i think.

well, the tickets cost 30 smackers, don't they, and if
you're wondering why it's because of the all the legal
hassle and all the requirements laid on the producers
to have this this little soiree. so why bother, you ask?
for sentimental reasons. this will be the third GD concert
at this site, the others having been held in 1972 and 1982. 
hence, the name, the third decadenal field trip. but the truth is,
our land is not really made for 80,000 pairs of feet and if
it comes out unscathed i'll be a happy secretary of the oregon
country fair.

And now for the rest of the story...

Although Cop Killer will be removed from the Body Count album, Ice-T is
planning to *give away* cassettes of the song at every performance.
"Free" speech, indeed! Not to mention more free publicity.

His stated reasons, other than the death threats:
 To counteract the impression that he wrote the song just to make $$$.
 To take the heat off Time-Warner, and put the load right on Ice-T.

Is there anyone who knows where I can get one of those ties and how much

so I probably have to mail-order one.  I were tie occasionally and I would
