Reply #: She used 2 Live Crew's song 'Me So Horny' as an example [View All]

which prompted two state courts to outlaw the song and the live performance of the song. When the group performed the song they were arrested. All cases have been thrown out, all laws have been changed. NOW, but when Tipper was on her rampage censorship was alive and well. You can say she didn't do it, but if she had not named that group and that song, would've Florida and Georgia reacted that way? The 'unintended consequences' of her battles for labeling (and her placing her own morals as the bar for which society to strive) were the courts placing limitations to the Constitution. Pretend that she only wanted the little stickers on the record covers all you want.

(BTW, this came about because she let her daughter purchase a Prince and the Purple Rain album without paying attention to the contents - when she heard the song 'Darling Nikki' she got mad that no one had warned her about the pornographic content of the music - maybe she should have paid better attention to what she was allowing her children to buy rather than what the entire country was doing)
