the PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center)was formed in 1985. Its four members consisted of the Tipper Gore, Susan Baker, Pam Howar, and Sally Nevius. All four women were wives of promonent husbands that worked in federal government. The women waged a jihad against popular music, especially rock music. They blamed rock music for rape, violence, drug abuse and teenage suicide. They held a Senate hearing in August 1985 to discuss and attempt to impliment censorship in music. The PMRC had many proffesors and phycatrists testify on their part. Opposing them was Dee Sinder (Twisted Sister) Frank Zappa and John Denver. Technically the PMRC suceeded by forcing production companies to put the ever common Parental Warning sticker on the cover of explicit albums.
THe PMRC claimed to be acting on behalf of the American People. In reality, the PMRC was just a bunch of Washington socialites that wanted something public to do. What they were attempting to do was against the 1st amendment and a charachteristic of a Socialist/Communist/Nazi government

Headed and started by Tipper Gore in 1985, when she heard her then 5 year old daughter listening to Prince´s "Darling Nikki" on the Purple Rain b-side.
The "most representative and most youth endangering" musicians were invited to Congress: Dee Snider (Twisted Sister, okay, they´d been rude back then), Frank Zappa (sang explicit lyrics too) and - lo and behold - John Denver who sang "Country Roads".
The whole thing turned into hysteria as more and more desperate housewives attended the movement and even started to cencore songbooks in kindergardens.
The final decision was to mark youth endangering records with the following stickers:
A = music that promoted alcohol abuse
S = satanic lyrics
V = music that supports violence lyrically
Later on they used that comprehensive sticker "Parental Advisory - Explicit Lyrics".

A group of Washington bitches headed by Tipper Gore. Their main kob is to keep records/C.Ds with dirty language off the shelves because they think it contributes to violence in kids and stuff.

Get the PMRC mug.PMRC or Pussy Moms Religious Cult was a group of women like Tipper Gore who feared the little boys and girls from hearing fuck and themes that expressed individuality. Until a group of Rock and Metal musicians decided to shove their feet so far up the PMRC's asses, that they diminished the PMRC's power to a sticker that is worn as a badge of honor is a piss stain for any musician that earns it.
