Indeed, I don't know of any suggestion that any legislation be pa**ed. But to simply provide a forum for airing the issue itself, for ventilating the issue, for bringing it out in the public domain. Senator Hollings Senator Hollings: I've had the opportunity to, ah, attend a, a showing, you might say, or presentation of, ah, this p**n rock, as they call it. In the test of p**nography, one of the things to look at is it, it does not have any redeeming social value. Ah, there could be an exception here, because having attended that pres, presentation, the redeeming social value I find that is inaudible. I have a hard time understanding it, then. Paul, since I traveled the country for 3 years, 'n they said they could not understand me. Maybe I could make a good rock star. I don't know. Heh But in all candor, I would tell you it's, it's outrageous filth. So, I'll be looking from this Senator's standpoint, not just to bring pressures but to try to see if there is some constitutional provisions to tax, or approach that can be used on the Congress to limit this outrageous filth Chairman: Senator Trible Senator Trible: Rape, incest, s**ual violence Senator Hollings: It's outrageous filth Senator Trible: Is like sandpaper to the soul Now, the effects of such lyrics on a well adjusted child may not be cataclysmic Senator Hollings: It's outrageous filth!

You understand that the, the, ah, previous witnesses were not asking for legislation. And I, I don't know, I can't speak for Senator Hollings, but I think that the prevailing view here is that nobody is asking for legislation. The question is just focusing on what a lot of people perceived to be a problem, and you have indicated that you at least understand that there is another point of view Senator Hollings: Willy nilly over the air Senator Hollings: Willy nilly over the air Senator Hollings: Willy nilly over the air Chairman: Senator Gore Senator Gore: Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

Chairman: Senator Gorton Senator Gorton: Mr. Zappa, I, ah, am astounded at the courtesy and soft-voiced nature of the comments of my friend, the Senator from Tennessee. I can only say that I found your statement to be boorish, ah, incredibly and insensitively insulting to the people that were here previously; that you could manage to give the first amendment of the Constitution of the United States a bad name, if I felt that you had the slightest understanding of it, which I do not. You do not have the slightest understanding of the difference between Government action and private action, and you have certainly destroyed any case you might otherwise have had with this Senator. Thank you, Mr. Chairman FZ: Is this private action? Rev. Jeff Ling: Degradation. Humiliation. Thrusting, shoving.
