It was a really fun song. When if first played in Kansas, several local fire-n-brimstone preachers had whole sermons on how Sears was in league with the devil to corrupt our youth and lead us all into damnation.

When Sears issued their contention that it was a "printing blemish," there was another round of sermons proclaiming that some evil person had purposely defaced the image to corrupt our youth and lead us all into damnation.

When someone pointed out in a letter to the local newsrag that if you turned the page over and looked at the other side, it was quite clear what "showed through" and made the picture look like an obsecenity, there was another round of sermons about how Sears "dishonestly" tried to capitalize on this "accidental but innocent appearance" of obscenity by withholding the real explanation - to corrupt our youth and lead us all into poverty and damnation.

The record only played for a couple of weeks, but they got sermons out of it for about three months, as I recall.

Amos - A lot of people around here never left the 50s (or are just now getting to them). No need to "go back." Local folk still want their prohibition back. 20s?
