george carlin, again, says you can make fun of anything. anything will make you laugh. i think he brought up the concept of rape. he said you can even joke about rape. somebody said, "how?" he said, "well, consider minnie-- "porky pig raping minnie mouse," you know. you got to give him a few things. so it's how you address it and with, i think, with what end in mind you address it and what kind of heart you have in trying to deal with a situation rather than just bluntly going out there and being abusive, which is one form of music that's going on today. it takes a certain heart to address the difficult topics with an idea toward accomplishing something, you know, that--that's worthwhile. thank you for joining us today. my pleasure. our guest today has been paul kantner. i'm ken paulson, back next week with another conversation about free expression, the arts, and america. i hope you can join us then for speaking freely.
