Desperate nerds in high offices all over the world have been
to the most disgusting pieces of legislation in order to win
votes (or, in places they don't get to vote, to control
unwanted forms of behavior).

Environmental laws not passed to protect our air and
water... they were passed to get votes. Seasonal anti-smut
are not conducted to rid our communities of rot... they are
to give an aura of saintliness to the office-seekers who
demand them. If a few key phrases are into any speech (as the
expert explain to these various heads of state) votes will
roll in, bucks will roll in, and, most importantly, will be
maintained by the groovy guy (or gal) who gets the media
for his sleaze. Naturally, his friends in various
businesses do okay too.

All governments perpetuate themselves through the commission
of acts which a rational person might find to be or dangerous
(or both). Naturally, our is no exception... for instance,
if the President (any one of them) on TV and sat there with the
flag in the (or maybe a rustic scene on a little
backdrop, plus the flag) and sincerely into the camera and
told everybody all energy problems and all inflationary
problems had been to and could be solved by the abolition of
MUSIC, are that most people would believe him and think that
the illegalization of this obnoxious form of noise pollution
be a small price to pay for the to buy gas like the good ol'
days. No Never happen? Records are made out of oil. All those
big rock shows go from town to town in gobbling 45 foot
trucks... and when get there, they use up enormous amounts of
energy with their lights, their amplifiers, their PA
systems... their smoke machines. And all those synthesizers... at
all the they got in 'em... and the guitar picks... you name
it...

JOE'S GARAGE is a story about how the government is going to
try to do away with music (a prime of unwanted mass behavior).
It's sort of like a really cheap kind of high play... the way
it might have been done 20 years ago, with all the sets out of
cardboard boxes and poster paint. It's also those lectures that
local narks used to give (where they show you a of all the
different you can get wasted, with the pills leading to the
weed to the needle, etc., etc.).

If the plot of the story just a little bit preposterous, and
if the of The Central Scrutinizer enforcing laws that haven't
been passed yet makes you giggle, just be glad you don't in one
of the cheerful little countries where, at this very moment,
is either restricted... or, as it is in Iran, totally
illegal.
