66. If you took punk MUSIC at its word and hurt yourself or others
physically, then you have deep-seated emotional issues that have nothing to do with music. As Frank Zappa pointed out during his testimony at the PMRC hearings in 1985, any citizen can be set of onto an anti-social pattern of behavior if they are already predisposed to anti-social behavior. Any stimulus can set them off. It could be a "chair.... or your tie" that does it.

Blaming it on music is the lamest form of cop-out, and an admission that one cannot differentiate between fiction and reality.

There is no sound you can make that can turn a human into a socail liability unless that human already is prone to anti-social behavior.
