Country Joe McDonald is fined $500 for uttering an obscenity during a concert performance of his song "I Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag."

I loved that song!! Can you imagine how high some of the fines would be TODAY?

Shit man, that is crazy.

The song yellow submarine came out before it was even considered a drug term. Fucking idiot beauracrats. John Lennon might have gotten the inspiration to write a kid's song while on an acid trip but still.

Fucking insane.

1980

Fearing association with its theme, Mercury Records refuses to release Frank Zappa's single "I Don't Wanna Get Drafted."

A representative of the New York State Division of Substance Abuse Services suggests a tax on musicians whose songs promote drug use.

In October, Youth Minister Art Diaz organizes a group of local teenagers who conduct a record burning at the First Assembly Church of God in Des Moines, Iowa, including albums by the Beatles, Ravi Shankar, Peter Frampton, and the soundtrack to the movie Grease. <--- hahahaha

A similar burning takes place a few months later in Keoku, Iowa, where a church group burns the work of The Carpenters, John Denver, and Perry Como.

Perry Como? Can you imagine? LMAO
