Zappa vs Lofton (Laughfton)











This is a priceless, yet scary video from the CNN show Crossfire back in 1986. There was a big move back in 1986 to have the government censor music lyrics. Part of this stemmed from a song by Prince that talked about incest. This clown, Lofton, implied that prior to this song there was not an incest problem in America. Really??? There was also a group called the PMRC lead by Tipper Gore. They claimed that music lyrics create bad behavior. Zappa said that he did a song about dental floss yet that did not make people have better teeth. Anyway... after watching this gem of a show, I looked up Mr Lofton and started an email dialog with him. It went on for a week and got nowhere. It was like trying to talk to a wall. He's similar to Rush Limbaugh with his tactics only he's a religious zealot. If you do a search on him almost everything talks about what an a-hole he is.
