She had one that was some kind of compilation intended to raise money for AIDS research, featuring bands like U2. In the notes on the inside cover it bulleted pointed its goals and one of them was something like "fight voices who advocate a return to outdated traditional morality in the struggle against the spread of the disease."When I read that I realized that whatever the real purpose behind this album was, it certainly wasn't stopping the spread of AIDS. Over the years, repeatedly seeing that kind of thing eventually got me to where I am now politically and philosophically.</blockquote>
