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

Environmental laws were not passed to our air and
water... they were passed to get votes. anti-smut campaigns
are not to rid our communities of moral 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 advisors explain to these various heads of state) votes
roll in, will roll in, and, most importantly, power will be
maintained by the groovy guy (or gal) who gets the media
coverage for his sleaze. Naturally, his friends in
will do okay too.

All governments perpetuate through the daily commission
of acts which a rational person might find to be stupid or
(or both). Naturally, our is no exception... for instance,
if the (any one of them) went on TV and sat there with the
flag in the (or maybe a rustic scene on a little
backdrop, plus the flag) and stared sincerely the camera and
everybody that all energy problems and all inflationary
problems had been traced to and be solved by the abolition of
MUSIC, chances are that most would believe him and think that
the of this obnoxious form of noise pollution would
be a price to pay for the chance to buy gas like the good ol'
days. No way? happen? Records are made out of oil. All those
big shows go from town to town in fuel gobbling 45 foot
trucks... and when they get there, they use up amounts of
electrical energy their lights, their amplifiers, their PA
systems... their smoke machines. And all synthesizers... look at
all the plastic they got in 'em... and the guitar picks... you
it...

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

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