Hundreds of years ago, when I was 11, some friends and i stashed a couple of girlie magazines we�d pilfered at a school paper drive in a secret place in the wilderness about half an hour by foot and skateboard from our homes.

I got more pleasure from looking at those magazines than I have from the total of every Playboy, Penthouse,

Mayfair, Oui, Club, and Gallery that I�ve ogled since. And I�ve ogled my share.

Publicly disembowel me and make footballs of my intestines, but I�m not so sure that it wouldn�t have been a grand idea to capitulate completely to Tipper Gore and her fellow would-be affixers-ofwarning-labels to rock �n� roll albums in the Parents Musical Repression Corps. Flay me alive for saying this, that is, but I think there may be more than one way to see the recent (at the time of this writing) controversy over the PMRC�s proposed lyric �censorship.�
