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.

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.
Yeah, it’s Crossfire
I am ready for his biopic starring John Turturo.
