Synopsis: On Crossfire (March 28, 1986), Frank Zappa was invited to debate about music censorship in the wake of the PMRC’s push for warning labels on albums. Instead of treating it as a narrow industry issue, he broadened the discussion and warned that such censorship efforts were a step toward what he called “moving America towards a fascist theocracy” in the United States.
Granted, I don't care to watch the rest of the show, but from the clip that was less debate and more old white fucks shouting over one another in a desperate scramble to place themselves above the dangerous subversive radical trying to talk sense.

Say what you will about him and what he named his kids, but the man was a visionary.
