Claude Bessy: I'm the emcee,
2
um... so I'm supposed to be saying let's hear it for Sonic Youth,
3
all the way from the states.
4
Except uh... actually I'd like about two minutes
5
of your attention.
6
Shut your fucking face, I want just two minutes of your attention,
7
I have a very interesting little story to tell you.
8
Two minutes, not very long, right?
9
And it's a...
10
it's a very instructive little story.
11
Um... Sonic Youth, um, are a band.. shh shh shh...
12
Uh, they're about to put out a record in this country except their
13
record company has decided to put a no-no on the record.
14
Because of, uh... the cover which is offending some people at
15
Rough Trade. And now, it's not.. I mean it's not very offensive
16
cover, it's uh, it's got a naked lady, a naked Puerto Rican lady, it's
17
not very obscene, she's not doing anything weird.
18
Uh... it has nothing to do with.. you know, in this day of AIDS, an
19
uh.. and [?] and all that shit, uh, you would think the major
20
alternative record company would have better things to do than
21
worry about the shape of our bodies. So, I thought I'd let you
22
know, uh, so... um... next time you go and buy a record, and you
23
think you're really alternative and groovy, and uh, everybody is
24
in... is into the alternative charts, remember it's just like the other
25
side except it's a bit, a bit stranger, you know... but just remember,
26
it's not uh... there's no fucking culture there, you know.
27
There's just as much censorship among people our age, or you
28
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.
