  1. I am having no luck finding a video clip from about 35 years ago, if you can help that would be amazing. At the #PMRC hearings, during that absurd campaign, a real poindexter dude read out a list of artists that they considered should be banned. And the highlight for me was when he pronounces “Bowie” as “Boo-ee” which is a legit way to say “Bowie” but it makes the dude sound like a real dick. If you remember it or have a link please help me out.

  2. Cop Killer - #BodyCount

    youtu.be/yg_S4JJMxPU?si=mpviAV

    Fab live coverage from 1992.

    When talking about #controversial #music, there are few more shining examples than #CopKiller. Recorded by #IceT’s rock group Body Count, “Cop Killer” is a heated #song about a victim of #PoliceBrutality who violently takes matters into his own hands. The song faced criticism from #LawEnforcement agencies, the Parents Music Resource Center #PMRC, President #GeorgeHWBush and the public in general. Some people responded through #protests and #boycotts of any company associated with the distribution of the record. This caused sales to skyrocket, but also prompted certain stores to take the album off their shelves. Some countries, such as #NewZealand, attempted to have the song and the #rap group itself completely #banned. Stockholders threatened to pull out from #WarnerBrosRecords and executives received #DeathThreats. While Ice-T stood by his work, stating that it was a #ProtestSong meant to reflect hateful emotions rather than encourage violence, he subsequently decided to recall the album, removing the trouble-making song upon re-release.
