  • Preacher: Yes. He had risen through the ranks of Egypt, so that he was the prime minister of Egypt next to the Pharaoh.
  • Preacher: Let's tell you guys a story.
  • Announcer: Panorama City, California, 9-1-4-1-2.
  • Man: Oh, I... I... I think that, uh, things should be censored. I don't think they should be, uh... uh, necessarily bring--
  • Man: --that many. You know, I think the law should, uh, do something about people coming to town and just saying whatever they please. Especially to young people.
  • Radio Host: Let's get some, uh, thoughts from, uh, John, here in Lakewood. Hi John.
  • LPC: How you doing tonight?
  • Radio Host: Alright.
  • LPC: Yeah, I don't know, I just, and first of all, I think censorship in reality is just pretty much been beaten to death.
  • LPC: Well, two-life crew, you know, they've got so many other things to worry about besides, you know, the heyday of the negative press they've been getting.
  • LPC: They've got helium to worry about now, which is something, you know, that's just over.
  • LPC: up a whole new ballpark for them.
  • Radio Host: Helium.
  • LPC: Right. And now they've got, you know, mallets on stage, you know, where are they going to stop?
  • LPC: That's what my question is.
  • Radio Host: [laughs] Yeah, I guess, uh, the next thing will be, uh, sacrificing, uh, human beings on stage.
  • Radio Host: But then you see they'd be breaking the law.
  • Radio Host: Then that would be killing.
  • LPC: Yeah, but I mean, at this point, they've already begun to use helium.
  • LPC: I just don't see the validity in that. Do you have any insight on that?
  • Radio Host: No, uh, using helium in what way?
  • Radio Host: In what way?
  • LPC: On stage.
  • Radio Host: Well, I mean, how would they use helium?
  • LPC: Um, they...
  • LPC: They...
  • LPC: You mean, they just...
  • Radio Host: You mean, they just...
  • Radio Host: They talk?
  • LPC: Right.
  • LPC: No.
  • LPC: And then they actually mount lambs.
  • LPC: They saddle lambs on stage.
  • LPC: And I don't...
  • LPC: You know, I don't see this as entertainment of any form.
  • LPC: I may be wrong.
  • LPC: I think it is really cooler you are,
  • LPC: the more willing you are to accept it.
  • Radio Host: Yeah, well, I guess, uh, it's in the eyes of the beholder, I suppose--
  • Radio Host: as to what is art and what is entertainment.
  • Radio Host: So, you know, if you don't like that kind of action,
  • Radio Host: know, if you don't like that kind of act, you don't have to go see it, I guess.
  • LPC: But... But the lamb thing is what really strikes me as being kind of odd. I mean, how--
  • Radio Host: Well, if they're hurting the lamb, then perhaps animal cruelty charges can be filed.
  • LPC: Well, see, that's the thing, they're giving the helium to the lambs.
  • LPC: That's where it's kind of like...
  • Radio Host: And you're talking about two-life crew?
  • LPC: Right.
  • LPC: And in the fact, I think it's part of this leg of the tour that's going to be through Denver.
  • Radio Host: Well, then perhaps that'll be slapped with a charge of cruelty to animals, if they can prove
  • Radio Host: that helium is, you know, if giving helium to a lamb is harmful.
  • LPC: Yeah, and then they begin to use the mallets on the lamb.
  • Radio Host: Yeah.
  • LPC: And I don't understand that one bit.
  • Radio Host: Yeah.
  • Radio Host: And at the very end, that is cruelty, and I would disagree with that.
  • Radio Host: But I'm saying the performance of the music itself, there's no reason why we should censor it.
  • LPC: Sure, absolutely.
  • LPC: But one thing, how do you feel about at the end of the show where they strike a gong with a lamb?
  • Radio Host: Now, I have never seen that.
  • LPC: That is part of their live show, and I don't know.
  • LPC: I don't think that's a viable thing for any artists to do at this point.
  • Radio Host: Man, I see, I didn't know that.
  • Radio Host: You've enlightened me here, John.
