[Vision2020] This is so not important..

[Ted Moffett]

Carl, and other Fugs devotes:

I believe Ed Sanders (someone correct me if I am wrong) was the brain child 
of the Fugs, which was more of a protest poetry art performance group, than 
a "musical" group, depending one ones definition of "music."  They were 
never mainstream in the 60s, in part because they used profanities.

But I disagree that the 60s are in the rearview mirror.  The revolt of that 
time is alive and well and with us as we speak.  Artists like the Fugs, who 
were censored in the extreme in the 60s due to questionable content, now 
have a much wider and more accepting audience.  For better or worse, free 
expression is more "free" now than it was then.  Businesses that profit off 
pornography now are out in the open, for example, when in the 60s they would 
have ended up in court.

Speaking of censorship, the original censored album cover to the one "Blind 
Faith" album, that super group with Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood and Ginger 
Baker, is now out on display in stores right here in Moscow, the same cover 
that was banned when it came out during the 60s era.   It features a 
"topless" female.

Time for the Moscow City Council to go to work to protect us!

The 1960s really were a conservative time.
