Hard to imagine a parental advisory label on Weird Al’s music. Music in recent years of some genres can be quite vulgar. Shop foreman had to forbid music in the shop that can’t be played on broadcast radio, some technicians like to offend others. ---

> [@RandomTroll](#): > > We were talking about @bing’s reaction to his kid wanting to buy a Weird Al album, not a careful evaluation of the actual behavior of the musicians. Sarah Vowell’s parents objected to KISS. Over-protective, possibly. I started collecting Kiss albums at the age of 7, and I still turned out ok, lol! ---

> [@Nevada\_545](#): > > Music in recent years of some genres can be quite vulgar Longer than that. I remember during my senior year in college that Frank Zappa’s Dirty Love came out. Filthiest song I’ve ever heard. Truly pornographic, but it played on commercial radio everywhere. The song was Zappa’s reaction to federal censors preventing his music from hitting the airwaves. The song met all their criteria and was incredibly filthy. Look up the lyrics and remember that the song was on commercial radio. ---

My “still turned out ok” even with Kiss albums at 7 was in reference to the individual who wouldn’t let their kid have a Weird Al CD presumably at a much older age than that. ---

I’m sorry. I’m sure it wasn’t weird Al. I just couldn’t think of anyone else back then. Not to step on anyone’s grief but I just can’t stand trumpet music. But I dislike saxophone even more. Room mate was a pretty good trumpet player and was in a band that was a hall of fame band in South Dakota in the late 60s. So a rock band but just don’t like horns. ---

Ozzy Osbourne left Black sabbath in 1977, came back a year later and then Black Sabbath fired Ozzy in 1979 basically due to his unreliable and erratic behavior from excessive drug and alcohol abuse, It had been an on going issue, affecting his live performances and reliability during recording sessions etc… ---

I would not call myself a headbanger, but I do have the early Black Sabbath albums (Original printing) and some Ozzy CDs I keep in rotation in the gym. The No More Tears CD has the best for treadmill, stationary bike. Yoga? not so much ---
