For the young &#8216;ens, The Parent&#8217;s Music Resource Center was an organization of Senator&#8217;s wives that were all about censoring music they didn&#8217;t like. The Senate hearings were a momentous occasion when Frank Zappa, Dee Snider and John Denver (!) stepped up for Freedom Of Speech. Recently it was the anniversary of this dark day for democracy. So we decided to do a deep dive into the hearings. As well, we go over ringleader Tipper Gore&#8217;s &#8220;Filthy 15&#8221;. A list of &#8220;controversial&#8221; songs that got Tipper in a tizzy. This is probably our most politically charged episode yet. In our &#8220;News, Views and Tunes&#8221;, we acknowledge the anniversary of the loss of the late, great Cliff Burton. Musically, we crank some Impaler (one of Tipsy&#8217;s faves), Piledriver, Black Death, Tipper&#8217;s Gore, Victim and we introduce (Canada&#8217;s answer to The Mentors??)
