Synopsis: On Crossfire (March 28, 1986), Frank Zappa was invited to debate about music censorship in the wake of the PMRC’s push for warning labels on albums. Instead of treating it as a narrow industry issue, he broadened the discussion and warned that such censorship efforts were a step toward what he called “moving America towards a fascist theocracy” in the United States.
