And for the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry..."

Today, in Musical History:

November 5th, 1977: The manager of the Virgin Recortds store in Nottingham, England, was arrested for displaying a large poster advertising the Sex Pistol's' debut album,"Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols".

High Street stores banned the album after the police warned them that they could be fined under an 1898 "indecent advertising" act.

Because nothing says "We're the strong, confident government of an open, free country" like censoring music and free expression, right ?
