Politically incorrect prog??

I don't know why some people are so desperate to believe this. I know it might not be as apparent if you're over a certain age and primarily listen to (old) prog, but a lot of (mainstream) music (pop, rap, hip-hop, etc., but also rock) these days is much more daring and explicit than Ladies of the Road. Outside of the suggestive school-reporter mention, it probably doesn't even scratch the top of the most incorrect lyrics of its era, let alone outside of it. 

Maybe but you hear a lot worse in lyrics today but they have to have a parental advisory sticker on them. 

OP here....I appreciate any and all contributions!  Personally, I would not have considered Ladies of the Road, but am glad for the suggestion! 

Regarding rap/hip-hop, the violent messages conveyed (killing police, abuse of women etc.) makes that some of the most repellent music.  I dig the rhythms, but don't find much of value in it for listening.  

In retrospect, prog is probably the least offensive genre!  

^ No but it includes me thinking a young Henry Rollins might react that way, and saying such.  I'm sorry that bothers you.  

As for why I think it, I mentioned it's because of his political views... not to mention a crass version of his best known song.  Yeah, you could say Henry might be a little peeved.

ELP's Brain Salad Surgery (the album title, but the song on Works as well) was about fellatio. 

Prog is really not that provocative or daring most of the time. Most of the more talked about prog albums are from the 70's anyway.

I'm sure there's a lot of more positive rap, or rap that uses provocative imagery to talk about something important. But the stereotype of the genre isn't always that "nice" I guess. But it's not my genre.

I just thought I'd let you know that freedom of expression does not include breaking noses, that's all. It wasn't clear to me whether you were aware of that or not. To me Henry Rollins machoism has always been off-putting. I stay clear of his music, his spoken word-stuff and any male (or female I suppose) that violently radiate anger and aggression in general.

I don't think Lars mocked Henry Rollins - he mocked Joe Biden, who is a pathological liar, which makes the sarcastic video perfectly reasonable.

Of course Rollins might object to the video for various reasons. But in a free society people have to be able to express their opinion without fear of violence. If you disagree with that - fine, but then you have to accept the fact that you are against a free society. You didn't say one way or the other - so suppose Henry Rollins today sees this video, gets angry, goes to "Lars"'s house, rings, and when he opens, Rollins punches him in the nose. Ok or not?
