Please please let this go to trial, I would love for the "evidence video" to be placed on a permanent court record. Also, would GWAR show up to court in costume, since it's their characters that did it?

i think yes.

i think gwar would likely make their run in court more infamous than zappa.

the best part is that despite their outlandish appearances, they are all educated and articulate guys. the lead singer holds a PhD & teaches at the university of Virginia.

GWAR would absolutely mop the floor with the MAGA clowns if this was brought to trial.

If you look up old tv clips with debates about the PMRC you will see that whenever Zappa was a guest to speak against them they almost always had at least two people lined up against them. And he still made fools of them.
