​@@TheOneAndOnlyD-O-Double-G I think most people would consider that to be more about propriety, politeness and appearances though, which would play directly into Snider's point that surface level appearances are not really aligned with morality or the way we treat each other, and continue to poke at the closed-minded self-claimed "Christians" to be the ones to assign the label of "hateful" and "disrespectful" to others based on how they look or speak. So it probably wouldn't have worked for Gore to bring that up. And if we are being intellectually honest, in "The Sick Mother F--king Friends of Twister" the "Mother F--king" isn't really about having sex with your mother at all, it's just an extreme adjective meant to be radical, rebellious, and humorous. But Gore still could have effectively made that argument to drive his point and further pick at the language used, since intellectual honesty isn't really worth much in Congress or at the education level of the television watching American public.

Snider wasn't infallible though, and some of the arguments he made definitely left the door unsealed. He was aided quite a bit by his own conviction, which was apparent in the strength and confidence of his statements. But he was helped even more so by Gore's incompetence and wavering.

Jello Biafra and KISS are others who belong in the Covidiot Club. Another thing about Dee: wouldn't let Trump use 'We're Not Gonna Take It' for a presidential campaign--but he's fine with the song being used as a war cry for the Ukraine. Notice that Dee never joined the military. Maybe he should've picked up an M-16 instead of a _geee-taaar_ as suggested by one of the characters in one of his music videos.

Not to say John Denver didn't contribute, he did considerably and added a lot of credibility and support for the musician's side, but it were the ones least expected to have an impact on the hearings who ended up doing the most

As I recall, John Denver was on the PMRC's hit list because they thought the song title "Rocky Mountain High" promoted drugs. Zappa was there because they decided the lyrics on his album "Jazz from hell" promoted satanism. If they'd listened to it, they'd have known it was 100% instrumental. I think Tipper Gore first took offence at one of Madonna's albums that her daughter was listening to. Again, from what I recall, the album contained a reference to masturbation and Tipper didn't like her daughter hearing about that. A lot of Zappa's lyrics called out Republicans and televangelists for hypocrisy and dishonesty and he was pretty scathing about religious bigots and racists. He also refused drugs, and coming to work stoned was a sacking offence in his bands. I can't imagine what he'd he'd make of things today...

All bad BS back then was driven by Al Gore, his wife and the Democrats, you should thank the Republican party for putting a stop to that nonsense.

Great video. Thanks for putting it together. One of the background issues that got stuck in my brain is the undue power of influence afforded to the spouses of elected (and/or appointed) officials. Why did anyone care what Tipper thought? Yes, she’s her own person with her own voice and fully within her rights to express her opinions…but Al was the one who was elected, not her. How many elected officials come with built-in lobbyists, and how much influence do they actually have? I’m sure there’s a book or two about this kind of thing out there somewhere. Might have to pick it up.

I was a teenager during this time. There was a heavy metal album I wanted, can't remember which, but it had a parental warning so I couldn't buy it myself. This outraged my mother so much that she went to the record store with me, asked me which album it was, took it to the counter and waited to pay. The guy behind the counter looked at me, then at her, then asked who it was for. She glared at him, and through gritted teeth, said, "it's for me". He just blinked, looked at me again, back at her and then took the money and handed her the album which she promptly handed to me. Smart guy knew when not to pick a fight.

It’s hilarious that the politicians assumed that musicians are stupid. You can’t be stupid to be a successful group or musician. Writing music takes brains, writing lyrics takes brains, playing and instrument takes brains and to do all three and be extremely successful takes a lot of brains.

Video games = rl violence was debunked decades ago. Whenever someone (cough jack thompson cough disbarred cough) suggests there's a link, they wind up looking pretty stupid pretty quick.

Same here. They have some decent tunes. I recall fondly listening to some of them with a friend of the family who was a few years older than me. "Feel the noise" is a solid track, same for not gonna take it and a few more. Dee Snyder made a really good b horror film in the late 1990s he played this serial killer Captain Howdy.. shit was real good as I recall. One of the first internet based horror films, WAY ahead of it's time.

Snider having to explain basic parenting most parents are too lazy to actually do.

As a gamer, you have no idea how many arguments I've gotten into with other people about the contents of games. They always eventually go down to a question similar to one that Snider had to tackle: "Would you buy video games for your kids?" I then would have to explain the existence of video game ratings and how to judge if a game is meant for a kid, teen or adult. You'd be surprised with how many people are completely unaware of the existence of rating systems like the PEGI or ESRB and just assume all video games are 'meant for children'. The issue is a lot of people would rather blame the world around them instead of realizing that they're the ones that have to raise their kids and decide what their kids can and cannot handle. It shouldn't be "Video Games are violent, so let's ban video games.", it should be "Some video games are violent, so I shouldn't get my kid those games until they're old enough."

@Paul Martin If you think your kids can handle it, and mature enough for it, go for it. The main focus of my rant was against those parents who buy their kids games and then later complain about the content in the games, blaming game developers instead of their own lack of parenting skills.

Dee Snider, sir, i owe you a lot. Thank you.

Credit to John Denver for speaking out. He was certainly NOT a target personally. I heard he shocked Zappa when he said he was a fan and listened to all his material.

It was so perfect that he showed up sporting his own clothes and style. Give them a second to scoff to themselves and lower their guard, then drop the proverbial nuke on their asses. So perfectly played; it's one of many reasons I immensely respect Dee as an artist and as a person.

Dee Snider will always be a legend! 🤘🏼
