Random but have to throw in, the Dee Snider testimony was and remains one of the truest moments before Congress that we’ve witnessed. I remember it very well and the push for album labeling and frankly only purchasing albums and cassettes WITH the labels for that very reason. But Dees main point of contention wasn’t that warning labels are good or bad it was that he was personally targeted and his art misrepresented and his content distorted by the PMRC. To the point of Gore outright lying about merchandise and presenting their lyrics out or order to push their agenda and use him as a scapegoat. I recall the go they had at Biafra and Frankenchrist too as mostly the PMRC were distorting actual content solely based on album covers or jackets and talking out of their asses. Snider made the case perfect..they watched the video but ignored the lyrics. The actual parental advisory sticks actually became a marketing tag in time blowing up in their faces and an exercise in Government futility and idiocy.
