ARTIFICIAL MUSIC
- Share via
Tipper Gore of the Parents Music Resource Center only wants consumer information on records, cassettes, etc. I think it is hilarious that Frank Zappa, the Dead Kennedys and others are saying just exactly what food companies, cosmetic companies, etc., said for years to fight having to put ingredient lists on their packages.
The musicians are so upset just about “having” to print lyrics. They would really be upset if they had to disclose their “artificial ingredients” (recording tricks)!
Some of the musicians may be worried about censorship; well, they know their lyrics better than I do. However, I suspect that many share the concern of one musician on “The Oprah Winfrey Show”: “If we print the lyrics, who will buy the song books?”
