did they have "speed" in the late 70's? by that name I mean, I guess likely they did...??? I seem to remember it in the mid 80's.

did the stupid "Christian" record label make them change it?

It wouldn't have been the first time they had to change lyrics for the record. |
Any personal stories??? |
On the first DA record they changed a couple lyrics.
It seems from the interview Terry gives on the 2nd disc,
they were changed on the advice of Al Perkins the producer.
So I don't really know if the "had" too change those lyrics.

It probably just wouldn't of sold at the time had they not. They originally wrote a lot of the songs with street people in mind, but when the album was made they had to sell it in Bible Book Stores to a pretty tame audience. I mean think of it this way, had they not changed the lyrics, and those stores hadn't carried the album and it tanked.. the band might of fell apart like some of the other bands of the time. There were quite a few with one or two albums for their entire career.

I'm sure it would have not been carried in the stores.
I am sure a lot of bookstores would not want to carry it now.
Steve Taylor had problems with "I Predict 1990" as did Scaterd Few with their "Sin Disease" record, so this is nothing new.

I really don't know what is worse, the hyper-vigilance of the past or the bland shallowness of the present. Either way, it cannot be fun travails for an "artist" in this "product" medium.
Posted by Dr Rich on 04-03-2008 at20:25:
No. It's pretty rough, and always has been for a real "artist."
Since I have been kind of getting into Jason Martin's stuff again...
I wonder how many records a band like Starflyer 59 sells?
Posted by DwDunphy on 04-03-2008 at20:53:
Well, I tend to get them eventually (although I still don't have Singing Voice vs. Talking Voice), but SF59 is so vague at times and moody at other times that I imagine they tag their fans at least...
Posted by Dr Rich on 04-03-2008 at21:03:
Yeah I pretty much get everything too.
Of course I get pretty much everything of a lot of bands that don't sell many records!
