Well, I'll give you th[e]- the best example of why such a panel is a pure fiction and a pure fantasy.
You've ever heard of the Grammys? Do you know anything about NARAS? Have you heard about the NARAS credo?
That's a little- I saw one one time, the one that I saw was written by Stan Freberg, okay?
W[e]- we were the entertainment at the Grammys 1967 or 68 in New York.
I saw this piece of paper and it said in part that: "These selections are made on artistic merit alone that have nothing to do with unit sales."
Right? Sure.
NARAS does not listen to 25'000 individual 4-minute songs every year in order to pick somebody who gets a Grammy.
It's obviously fake, okay?
Now how do they expect that somebody is going to, in good conscience, listen to that volume of music?
Not you can't, let's suggest once.
"Yeah!"
You have to listen carefully to make sure you haven't missed anything.
You know it's gonna take more than 4 minutes a song to do this.
To listen to the entire output of the United States record business per year.
"Yeah!"
This is a joke, who's gonna pay for this?
Obviously the PMRC answer would be: "There are plenty of volunteers in Lynchburg, Virginia! They'll sit there and listen to it all day and all night."
In fact they've already got the little X's made up to [rid it off then pump'em out?].
Because as you know, the major industry in Lynchburg right now is not the moral majority.
It's the Fleet Enema Corporation and you need to have some other kind of business there to boost the local G&P.
That's true, that's the biggest employer in Lynchburg.
"Yeah!"
Well, I think that there's a reason why the Fleet Enema company located its factory right next to Falwell's church
"Yeah!"
Or maybe it's vice versa. Maybe there's a reason why Jerry located his church right next to the Fleet Enema Corporation.
Maybe there's a fundraising balance between them.
Maybe they have something that those- they each have something that the other needs for their work.
