I'm 45 and absolutely remember when this crap was going on. For myself personally, it had a reverse effect. I was more likely to buy an album that had the "label" on it. As with most children, someone tells them they can't listen to something in particular, the child is going to find a way to listen to it. I would argue that the introduction of the label propelled music artists to be more "descriptively risque" in their craft.

I feel like there were more levels to the label then we were aware of. Like if there was some swearing on it stores would gladly carry it and sales would be great because it had distribution....but if something took more thought to interpret and judge and it wore the label then chains wouldn't carry it. If that was the case did each chain have their own inhouse yes/no system and would that have been shared by distributors with other stores/chains to the point where certain artists were being dropped from distro because of copycat wholesale purchasing.

I remember when I got that album in the mid 90s. It didn't have the original H.R. Giger cover but there was an insert that said if you mailed $2 to the address given they would mail you the original cover. So I did. Four weeks later I got my letter back and there must have been half a dozen stamps on there saying "return to sender" and "no such address exists" and etc. I always wondered where that letter had gone when I mailed it. I thought it might have been a prank by Jello and the letter went to a government address or something. It may have been the case that Alternative Tentacles had moved by then but I like to think that letter went to Tipper Gore's mailbox or something.

Well, creating what you believe I can easily foresee, creating a world of fiction is just creating fiction, either that or speaking coherent philosophy like a nonfiction philosophy book for example. But there's bound to be situations where people will be afraid to say what they believe and with good reason. Man A could want to say, "who cares about what the Catholic priests are doing in their life," or, "9/11 was cornball," because maybe man A truly does believe that 9/11 was cornball. And maybe there's a good number of people who think the same thing, that 9/11 was cornball and man was the post-9/11 paranoid era ridiculous. But that's the thing, it's been two and a half decades past 9/11 and the American norm is still post-9/11 paranoid to this day. And now the new paranoia is the corona virus. Should man A say, "The corona virus is cornball" to anyone else in the public? Or I'll give a better example. Should man B say without being afraid, "9/11 was cornball," or "The corona virus is cornball," in a coffee shop? No, of course he should be afraid to say that, because the Starbucks management (or management of whatever the coffee shop) will kick him out. And the coffee shop management reserves the right to kick out customers for free speech as they are the company after all and they can and will make the rules. My place of residence used to be pitched up around Panorama City, California. The place is the slums mind you, not the worst but kinda close up there and they have this mall that enforced against T-shirts that they feel were sexually or violently obscene. Because of edgy T-shirts they could literally kick out customers. Blows donkey dick that their rules are that rigid? Of course it does, but they're the company and they can determine the rules and no one else in society is going to complain or disagree with the erosion of free speech (or any other freedom for that matter). There's the surveillance state suppression of the 4th Amendment, the unfair, kangaroo court-esque approach to trials suppression of the 6th amendment, the cruel and unusual punishment of Guantanamo Bay and the unfair bail money and sentences of the courts suppression of the 8th Amendment and no one complains or disagrees with any of those. You name the amendment to the Bill of Rights and it's been attacked multiple times and no one else disagrees with it and they certainly aren't willing to do something actively well thought out and effective against it. Most people aren't against authoritarianism, in fact agree with it. Here's an even better example. Should man C carry out man A's legacy by saying, "9/11 was cornball," to a cop? Technically either man A, man B, or man C or any other person for that matter, can say "9/11 was cornball," to a cop without being afraid of getting arrested as per First Amendment free speech except even that is debatable depending on the cop, the situation and often the state/locale you live in and including your finance as the cops favor the upper-class, not the poor-class. And the other thing is even if you weren't arrested for saying, "9/11 was cornball," to the cop, he's very likely going to put you on his police database list. Now you can argue that people should be able to say and create what they believe without being afraid but what should happen is much different from what will happen and what will continue to happen. It should happen that there's no disease, war, death, poverty, corporate pollution or economic divide. Doesn't mean it's going to happen.

The D.K.s won, but they lost. When there's A Witch Hunt like this, the antagonist has virtually all the cards, the antagonist may lose the case, and the defendant found not guilty but, the damage has been done monetarily, they lost so much money defending themselves, if I'm correct they went bankrupt, and basically took away their right to make A living, so the antagonist got what they wanted. No more "Trouble" from those D.K's I believe one of the prosecuting lawyers said in an interview years down the road that, the D.K.s were actually good, in the context of expressing the rights of individuals, that the whole thing was A "WITCH HUNT"on the behalf of the prosecution, and their. "Benefactors".

Jello Biafra runs the best punk rock label out there and still plays music to sold out audiences. He's also collaborated with some of the greatest musicians in the world. What happened with Dead Kennedy's is that they broke up and the other band members sued him for the rights to the album's even though he wrote all the songs, did the art, produced the albums, and pressed them himself, they wanted more of a cut. They play without him, but they kinda suck. Check out Jello Biafra and The Guantanamo School of Medicine to hear his current band, and his record label is called Alternative Tentacles. His album he did with the band D.O.A. pretty much immediately after this trial was wrapped up "The Last Scream of the Missing Neighbor" is one of the best and most underrated punk albums ever made.

Thanks for the upload

and then gg allin came along and fucked everything up

I had that album and poster. What really irritated me about the case was why was this woman shirking her responsibility as a parent by dragging this record and insert to the authorities? Why waste taxpayer dollars over a punk rock record w/a painting as a part of the packaging? I know that if my parents found an objectionable record in my collection, they would have questioned me, and they would've told me to keep it out of sight, or they would've just taken it away and trashed it. Luckily, my parents were pretty open-minded and would've settled for the former. I sure wouldn't want the government legislating issues that are part and parcel of parenting.
