Desperate nerds in high offices all the world have been known
to enact the most disgusting pieces of in order to win
votes (or, in places where they get to vote, to control
unwanted forms of behavior).

laws were not passed to protect our air and
water... were passed to get votes. Seasonal anti-smut campaigns
are not conducted to rid our 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) will
roll in, bucks roll in, and, most importantly, power will be
by the groovy guy (or gal) who gets the most media
coverage for his sleaze. Naturally, his in various
businesses will do 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 background (or maybe a rustic on a little
backdrop, plus the flag) and stared into the camera and
told everybody that all energy problems and all
problems had been traced to and could be by the abolition of
MUSIC, chances are that most would believe him and think that
the illegalization of obnoxious form of noise pollution would
be a small price to pay for the chance to buy gas like the ol'
days. No way? 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
electrical energy with their lights, their amplifiers, PA
systems... their smoke machines. And all those synthesizers... at
all the plastic they got in 'em... and the guitar picks... you
it...

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

If the plot of the story seems 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 live in one
of the cheerful little countries where, at very moment, music
is either severely restricted... or, as it is in Iran,
illegal.
