Thanks, that's pretty interesting. Look how far we have come.
I have to wonder how much Estes Kefauver's Sentate hearings into comic books factored into Al Gore Junior's own Senate hearings into music.
Estes Kefauver walked away with the VP nomination, while fellow Tennessee senator, Albert Gore Sr. got nothing.
Al and Tipper Gore successfully distanced themselves from that 1980s witchhunt (and got the endorsement of MTV and Frank Zappa's kids). Makes you wonder how much they really cared about that issue to begin with. Trash the lives of musicians and retailers (who were arrested for selling PMRC labelled albums to minors) just to score some political points (in an attempt for the 1988 presidential nomination).
That is evil, to trash someone and not really care one way or the other. Chew them up on your path to the goal.
