Did Elvis's music openly advocate killing policemen?
No, but the Jefferson Airplane did, at least once. They also wrote a
song glorifying cannibalism.
Did swing music openly advocate sexual promiscuity with no regard to
its physical or emotional consequences? (well, I might have to
concede some there...)
Indeed you might. Now let's talk about the Fugs--40 years ago.
Did Bessie Smith videos (yes, there are a few, I believe) feature her
3/4 naked and writhing in simulated orgasmic ecstasy?
Since normal, everyday beachwear for young women has them 9/10 naked
(19/20 for the more daring) I confess I don't understand the fuss here.
