Donahue - June 13, 1990 with Luther Campbell (2 Live Crew), Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), Wendy O Williams (Plasmatics), Mike Muir (Suicidal Tendencies).
---------
They're forbidden in Florida and taboo in Texas, but the leader of the 2 Live Crew was welcomed Wednesday for a fiery, foul-mouthed defense of their salacious million-selling album "As Nasty As They Wanna Be."
Luther Campbell, the front man for the Florida band, first went on the offensive during a taping of the "Geraldo" show. The rapper cursed at the sheriff who arrested him and questioned the credentials of the sheriff's legal adviser.
"He hasn't given more to the black community than I have," Campbell said of the adviser, then ripped into Broward County Sheriff Nick Navarro, who was also on the show.
He then headed from the Times Square taping to Rockefeller Center for a live bit on the syndicated "Donahue" show, where he was joined by previously censored performers Jello Biafra and Wendy O. Williams.
"I'm a little sick of the system," said Williams, who once wore only electrical tape above her waist at a show. "What are we going to do next? What's Luther going to do next? What's Jello going to do?"
Campbell kept it clean for "Donahue," although Bob DeMoss - director of the conservative Focus on Family - stunned Phil with an expletive that was heard in some markets where the show is broadcast live.
"I'd like to keep this job," Donahue said in asking his guests to calm down. DeMoss, sitting sheepishly, later apologized.
The two TV appearances should keep fueling sales of "As Nasty As They Wanna Be," which are fast approaching the 2 million mark. A federal judge in Florida last week declared the album obscene. His jurisdiction is limited to three south Florida counties. San Antonio store owners pulled the record from shelves this week after they were threatened with arrest.
Campbell and two other members of the band were arrested Sunday following a live show at a Florida club. While the judge has called the Crew's album obscene, Campbell and his supporters claim First Amendment protection and suggest they are victims of racism.
"A white man can say anything. How about Dice Clay?" Campbell asked of comedian Andrew Dice Clay, whose material has been criticized for slurs against women and gays.

Luke was speaking many truths. Should've told that lady in the audience to hold tight on to her pearls because10 years later it surely didn't go away like she had hoped.

Jack Thompson was permanently disbarred in 2008 for professional misconduct. Too bad it took too long... but Luther was right. ;)

Where did they find this audience? Some local church group? All the adults I knew in the 80s were about 100% more accepting about new music.

@depletable 6 ай бұрын

Maybe the "church group" audience had the right pulse on things as you see the degeneracy that's plaguing our society today. It's worth thinking about.

The third part in the obscenity clause is usually where most cases are thrown out because it is very hard to prove something is without artistic or literary merit. Music is so subjective that it truly relies on the person consuming it.

The song Gotta Kill Captain Stupid by Suicidal Tendencies helped save my life. I think it's super cool that Luke sampled and remixed this show into Banned In The U.S.A.

I recall this controversy at the time. With the perspective of decades hence, I say that the only solution would be to label the record as having sexual lyrics. Don’t arrest or ban it.

These are the same people who wanted to discontinue Sesame Street (well.... Mississippi did for a year) because it was 'too integrated...in these 'united' states. lol I guess they weren't saying 'first amendment rights' so much in 1990 when I was 19.

Foul Language doesnt belong in music. It was RIDICULOUS for history to claim that Elvis's dancing was sexually suggestive. Im not a major Elvis fan but very vulgar language doesnt shouldnt be permitted in recording. Here's hypocrisy, F the Freedom of Speech. We need to be controlled and conversative AGAIN.

Well, well, well!..... Everything that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad predicted in his book, "The Fall of America, " which was published in 1973, is unfolding in front of us in 2024. This video illustrates the beginning of it.
