Kick out the jams , Motherf**kers!!!!!

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Nothing new... Zappa Mother of invention's original name was Motherf**ker of invention, but the guys at the recording company didn't like the name... and in the wave of Ivan's quote, the original Abraxas sleeve was banned in my country; the censorship men didn't like the white dove between the legs of a magnificent black magic woman. I don't know if it was for sexist or racist matters...

I can definitely see your point, but considering the albums are an artistic "work" rather than the random graffiti of the forums, I'd vote to keep them uncensored unless there's a legality issue.

Even though I'm the first one who believes there should be civility limits in the forum, I have to agree with James, because it's the title the author has chosen for his work and it has been released like that.

I remember in the late 60's the album We're an American Band was banned in USA because it had a picture of the band members naked and the label had to place a white cover over the front, but that's something of the past, there's artistic freedom supported by International Laws, even if I don't like the name of the album.

hmmm...tough call.

With the recent efforts to promote civility and decency in the forums, do we really need albums added to the archives with the titles:

Motherf**kers G.M.B.H & Co. KG and

Motherf**kers Live

both by XHOL CARAVAN / XHOL

Confused

In both cases, the titles are not censored in the archives.
