DaveKazWatched this when it was first on. #TipperGore had no chance with #JelloBiafra. Well all of the #PMRC was outclassed by the musicians.

Prince, Madonna, and Judas Priest were among top 1980s rock stars targeted by the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC), a group of politically connected women concerned about explicit content in music. Formed by Tipper Gore and others, the PMRC launched a campaign culminating in US Senate hearings i... [More info]
Charles Should‘I was called an enemy of the people’: how the US Senate went to war with the biggest rock stars of the 1980s
Forty years ago Prince, Madonna and Judas Priest were among stars dubbed the ‘Filthy Fifteen’ in a high-profile parents’ campaign against ‘objectionable’ music. Some of those artists, and supporters like Alice Cooper, recall a major moral panic
