Now other groups are taking the flak. Example: Guns N Roses. the talented but loutish rockers whose album Appetite for Destruction has sold almost 9 million copies. Their song One in a Million says. "Police and niggers. thats right. get outta my way./Dont need to buy none of your gold claims today ... /Immigrants and faggots. they make no sense to me./They come to our country and think theyll do as they please./Llke start some miniIran. or spread some f- disease./They talk so many goddam ways. Its all Greek to me." Gore of P.M.R.C.. which is in favor of labeling but not censorship. talks of 14 million children "at risk" and in need of counseling thanks to the "graphic brutality marketed to these kids through music and television." Lawmakers in 19 states went further. they considered proposing warning labels for any song dealing with such topics as drugs. incest. murder and suicide. which would conceivably outlaw depraved works like I Get a Kick Out of You. Die Walktare.
