Rap group's show riles state agents Raunchy performance could lead to liquor license suspension
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 12/3/4 | Peter Fimrite

It quickly became clear to the undercover agents in the crowd at Little Switzerland that there was more forbidden fruit than lederhosen at the German-style beer hall in Sonoma.

Just the fact that the rap group 2 Live Crew was performing instead of the club's regular polka band was suspicious. The scantily clad girls dancing suggestively on stage to raunchy lyrics might have been enough to trigger some kind of enforcement, even without the partial nudity.

Then the bananas came out.

I'm REALLY hoping that's not an euphamism.

Oh it's no euphemism. It's worse ....

The full article is PRICELESS!

Not quite up there with Bill Burkett & Lucy Ramirez, which remains my favorite, but an outstanding piece of journalism all the same.

2 LIVE CREW are still around?!!
Will wonders never cease?

They're probably playing old-folks homes to get a rise out of the few people left in this world who'd be shocked or disgusted by their silly little pre-historic antics. I prefer the Beastie Boys myself (classy rap), but whatever gets you off....

P.S.= Did anybody here ever listen to the late, great Sam Kinison's old rant about 2 Live Crew: (paraphrased) "The love ballad was called...I swear to God..."We want some p***y. OHH! That's the one they play at weddings, with a church choir...."

Rap is Black Polka. Where's the tolerance?

When they play "Me So Horny", "Hootchie Mama", or "Dirty Nursery Rhymes", a different kind of German will be spoken:)
