I hope you can keep so blase as performers probe further depths in the search for even more puerile shock entertainment, madame. Will simulated paedophilia, or necrophilia, jolt you out of your complacency? Be assured, it's coming.

Is it illegal in their country to cut up a dead sheep? (BTW, are you squeamish about a butcher doing it, too, or just a rock band?)

I don't know what year it was, but a long time ago when Tina Turner was singing with her esteemed spouse Ike, he forced her to perform mock fellatio on a microphone on stage. I'm telling you, Byron, this is nothing new. If you want to place limitations on what people do (even when they're within legal limits) on stage, I'm sure you will find others who will join you in your crusade - I, for one, just don't care that much...as long as no laws are broken. I'll either choose to go see it, or not.

Yes... within Legal Limits is the way to go... adults can make up their mind whether they want to see it or not. No one is FORCED to attend a live performance...

That being said, we should try to be considerate of Byron's feelings. the Aussies take their sheep very seriously... much more so than europeans...

Sheesh. Who's your dad, Alan Dershowitz?

I'm not talking about the legalities, madame. I'm talking about the constant affront to decency by people who have no talent, no ability to entertain, and have to instead plumb the depths of sordidness in order to inspire the only emotion they're capable of delivering: revulsion. Perhaps -with your world-weary air- this is oh-so-passe, and for Chad, just another opening for some Z-grade yuks. But I beg to differ. I see it as another steep decline on the track, as we slouch towards Gomorrah. Apologists like yourself, who seem to think something's wrong only if it breaches the legal code, are part of the problem. Where's the outrage? For the Me Generation, it'll come only when they're personally affected, as usual. So I guess we'll wait, 'til your son or grandson, brings a sheep home? Yours in amazement, Byron.
