records so sexually explicit they still carry parental advisory warnings

In the United States, the excluded, underestimated, marginalized music included all but the most schooled music made by African Americans, virtually all music of rural and small-town white Southerners, and while there had already been, in Jelly Roll Morton’s description, a “Spanish tinge” in American popular music for many years, Latino music wasn’t going to cross the border into American parlors or stages, either. And then Ralph Peer came along. He saw as much potential in passed-over, professionally neglected music, and did as much to make something of it, as any one person ever has. In the initial breakthrough idea Peer had defined and worked on at Okeh, they had looked for homespun performers, in blues, hillbilly, gospel, regional jazz, and began to record them, specifically for the same populations from which they had emerged.

sexual frenzy was all right, but hashish was illegal

Dear Keith,
            We watched you on TV the other night and the first thing that grabbed our eyes was your lovely Hampton Wick. After that we did little besides studying it. From the way your pants project themselves at the zipper, we figure you’ve got a beauty of a rig. Sometimes we hoped you’d whip it out or something. Keith, we’re serious; we judge boys primarily by their Hamptons because they’re so exciting to look at and contribute so much to a healthy relationship. We hope you don’t think we ought to receive head treatment or be put away before we attack men or something. If you’re interested, drop by awhile, why don’t you, when you’re in Chicago. We’re both 18 and like to wear tight-fitting sweaters. We think a girl should wear things tight on top to please a boy, and that a boy should do the same on the bottom to please us. So please don’t forget to answer us. And keep pleasing us by wearing those pants good and tight.
            Reach us at:
            Cynthia Plastercaster
            Chicago, Ill.

Greetings and welcome Rolling Stones, our comrades in the desperate battle against the maniacs who hold power. The revolutionary youth of the world hears your music and is inspired to even more deadly acts. We fight in guerrilla bands and we riot at rock ’n’ roll concerts everywhere.  They call us dropouts and delinquents and draftdodgers and punks and hopheads and heap tons of shit on our heads. We will play your music in rock ’n’ roll bands as we tear down the jails and free the prisoners, as we tear down the State schools and free the students, as we tear down the military bases and arm the poor. Comrades, you will return to this country when it is free from the tyranny of the State and you will play your splendid music in factories run by the workers, in the domes of emptied city halls, on the rubble of police stations, under the hanging corpses of priests, under a million red flags waving over a million anarchist communities. 

listened to this strange, seductive, angry, hate-filled bluegrass


"Listen kid," he went on, "that record is no good. In fact it is evil. It caused a lot of trouble while it was around. Women left their husbands. Husbands left their wives. Children ran away from home and were never seen again. There were sunspots on the moon. Revolutions started, massacres happened, suicides and alcoholism went sky - high, wars started, monsters were seen on the Edge, it was bad, kid. It was bad. Maybe it would be better for you if you didn't hear it again. I mean I just feel like I gotta tell ya that, kid. It's dangerous for anybody your age to get interested in things like that."
