...lyrics cleverly depict the life of blue-collar America in the age of Reagan: "Home Shopping Club's got us by the eyes/Scrambling to the phone ordering porcelain flies/Talk to the women talk to the wives/Everybody's buying important things for their lives." Hornsby even mentions his presidential target by name: "Let it ring, George," he belts...
Until recently, authorities have been largely inclined to stay clear of pop culture or artwork -- areas where obscenity convictions could be almost impossible to obtain -- and concentrate instead on hard-core porn.

For $20,000, Adam could be wearing a Rolex watch; for $40,000, God could wear one; for $60,000, both. Although Mike is committed to the concept of Adam...
Take last Monday night's prime-time schedule. Murphy Brown and Capital News depict journalistic superstars strutting down the corridors of power in Washington. Working Girl is climbing her way into the upper echelons of New York corporate life; next maybe Tess will be dating Donald Trump. In Atlanta the Designing Women are even less likely than Scarlett O'Hara ever to be hungry again. Newhart is living the yuppie fantasy of owning a Vermont country inn. Even the downwardly mobile Philadelphia lawyer of Shannon's Deal can still manage to take a first date out for a $172 restaurant...
