Thread Name: Origins: Sugar Babe (Mance Lipscomb, Tom Rush, etc
Subject: RE: sugar babe
Back in 1989 or so(?), when I didn't know about their lyrics, Chet, and when I was a real activist/rabblerouser, I protested with a bunch of teenagers , including my daughter, in Westerly, RI, because they weren't going to let 2livecrew hold a concert there. I was incensed about the censorship that represented to me at the time. Also, that was about the time their cops had pulled me over at night to harass and threaten me for my "No Blood For Oil" sign in my car window, protesting the gulf war, so I wasn't too impressed with the town, anyway, even though I loved the arts center I worked at. I know better now, but I still don't know if I would agree wiht censoring them. Definitely wouldn't let my kids go to it and they did NOT listen to them. We had allof the discussions early on about misogyny etc., so my girls wouldn't have anyway.

Thanks, Fortunato, good choices IMHO.
