My most vivid memories of Fritz was in the 80s during the PMRC hearings (The Tipper Sticker) and just how clueless he was in dealing with anything outside the beltway.
Say what you want about what gets people paying attention to the minutiae of Senate or House hearings but for me as a teenager it was the PMRC hearings and just how clueless people in Congress were to the meanings of lyrics of the songs they were chastising and taking out of context.
It taught me one very valuable lesson, they will like about anything to cement their positions and beliefs. Fritz Hollings disgusted me as a teenager.
