C.B. |
| Claude Bessy: I’m the emcee, |
| um… so I’m supposed to be saying let’s hear it for Sonic Youth, |
| all the way from the states. |
| Except uh… actually I’d like about two minutes |
| of your attention. |
| Shut your f**king face, I want just two minutes of your attention, |
| I have a very interesting little story to tell you. |
| Two minutes, not very long, right? |
| And it’s a… |
| it’s a very instructive little story. |
| Um… Sonic Youth, um, are a band. shh shh shh… |
| Uh, they’re about to put out a record in this country except their |
| record company has decided to put a no-no on the record. |
| Because of, uh… the cover which is offending some people at |
| Rough Trade. And now, it’s not. I mean it’s not very offensive |
| cover, it’s uh, it’s got a naked lady, a naked Puerto Rican lady, it’s |
| not very obscene, she’s not doing anything weird. |
| Uh… it has nothing to do with. you know, in this day of AIDS, an |
| uh. and and all that shit, uh, you would think the major |
| alternative record company would have better things to do than |
| worry about the shape of our bodies. So, I thought I’d let you |
| know, uh, so… um… next time you go and buy a record, and you |
| think you’re really alternative and groovy, and uh, everybody is |
| in… is into the alternative charts, remember it’s just like the other |
| side except it’s a bit, a bit stranger, you know… but just remember, |
| it’s not uh… there’s no f**king culture there, you know. |
| There’s just as much censorship among people our age, or you |
| know. than anyone else. |
| Thurston: We’d like to thank Claude for that delightful speech. |
| This song is called The Green Light. It’s about green love. |
