I think we should leave Tipper alone. She was trying to protect the children with her stand against raunchy lyrics. Didn’t read the article.
She was an idiot. A statist idiot. An inconsistent entitled statist idiot. She wasn’t trying to protect her kids, she was looking for power and the spotlight.
Old crone.
Well I hope she got some royalties for her efforts. She did more than anybody else to increase the proliferation of raunchy and obscene lyrics in popular music.
It's true. Many recording artists would gratuitously insert obscene lyrics into their recordings to earn the coveted PMRC sticker. For it would often double or triple their record sales.
For the same reason, most film makers put in the obligatory violent scene or profanity so that they can avoid the dreaded "G" rating - which is the kiss of death for any film not made by Disney.
Yes, because we all know it’s the job of the second lady (and the wife of a sexual predator) to tell us plebes what music we can listen to.
