  Frank Zappa: Statement To Congress September 19, 1985@Everything2.com
The PMRC proposal is an ill-conceived piece of nonsense which fails to deliver any real benefits to children, infringes the civil liberties of people who are not children, and promises to keep the courts busy for years, dealing with the interpretational and enforcemental problems inherent in the proposal's design.
You bet it is. PMRC spokesperson, Kandy Stroud, announced to millions of fascinated viewers on last Friday's ABC Nightline debate that Senator Gore, a man she described as "A friend of the music industry," is co-sponsor of something she referred to as "anti-piracy legislation".
Because of the subjective nature of the PMRC ratings, it is impossible to guarantee that some sort of 'despised concept' won't sneak through, tucked away in new slang or the overstressed pronounciation of an otherwise innocent word.

  Parents Music Resource Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Proponents of the PMRC claimed that the change in rock music was attributable to the decay of the nuclear family in America.
Opponents of the PMRC (most notably Frank Zappa, Dee Snider, and Jello Biafra) said that the problem with record labeling was that it violated First Amendment rights and that there was no one definition for "moral standards".

 PMRC
According to Tipper Gore, the PMRC was formed to alert the public of "the growing trend in music towards lyrics that are sexually explicit, excessively violent, or glorify the use of drugs and alcohol." (Gore, Tipper 68)
The PMRC held the view that rock music contributes to the growing trend of rape (up 7%) and suicide between the age of 16 and 24 (up 300%) over the past three decades.
According to the PMRC, the link between rock music and suicide is evident, because "some rock artists actually seem to encourage teen suicide." (Gore, Tipper 9) The PMRC used three songs, Ozzie Osbourne's "Suicide Solutions," Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear The Reaper," and AC/DC's "Shoot To Thrill," to support their claim.

The PMRC, or Parents Music Resource Rights, was formed by several senators' wifes to let the public know that Rock 'N Roll was dangerous to kids, and that is promoted everything from sex to criminal-activity, rape to suicide.

God Bless the PMRC and their efforts to preserve, or impose, Christian values and raise our children for us while keeping their minds clean of thought.
PMRC member: My children are so awful because of the music they listen to, not me.
Rock music got up, however, and kindly told the PMRC that they could go get raped in the ass by a hippopotamus right before they delivered the kicked in the balls that was the testimonies of musicians such as Frank Zappa.

 Tipper Gore -- Gore-LIEberman 2000 unofficial campaign web site
The PMRC’s mission was to clean up the sexually explicit music industry and it led to the September 1985 Senate rock hearing, at which Tipper appeared as a witness.
PMRC’s mission was to clean up raunchy lyrics and suggestive album covers in the music industry.
However, for Tipper and PMRC, that language was not enough and the group continued its war on controversial music lyrics.

 WorkingForChange-Alexander Cockburn: The Gores' cultural wars
In a memo to Gortikov, the PMRC wrote that it wanted the record labels to "reassess contracting artists who engage in violence, substance abuse and/or explicit behavior in concerts where minors are admitted." So much for Al's favorite substance-abusing band, The Beatles.
One of her partners on the PMRC was Susan Baker (wife of Reagan's Treasury Secretary James Baker, a cabinet officer in the Reagan-Bush years), who was also a board member of the Reverend James Dobson's Focus on the Family.
The Gores and PMRC were prudent about one sector of the recording industry headquartered in the Gores' occasional homeport of Tennessee: Country music, despite its obsession with despair, drinking, adultery, suicide and revenge was spared their scrutiny.

 PMRC to survey prevalence of hepatitis -DAWN - National; September 19, 2006
Quoting another PMRC survey, she said the biggest reason for the spread of Hepatitis C in the country was the use of intramuscular injections followed by the use of shaving tools and unhygienic practices of barbers.
The PMRC official said the appropriate method for administering Hepatitis C injections was subcutaneous.
She suggested that the patients should be trained to take the injections themselves, so that the chances of health workers contracting the disease could be minimised.

 PMRC
We are convinced that the development and improvement of systems to model the growth and yield of managed stands under various cultural treatments must be a continuous and permanent component of the cooperative research program.
Several PMRC studies and developments are recognized as seminal in the forest management arena.
These range from the farsighted installation of field studies that push the biological limits of local species to previously unrealized levels, to the development of new flexible model forms that allow for predictions and projections of stands managed with intensive silvicultural methods.

 Parents Music Resource Center Information
Opponents of the PMRC (most notably Frank Zappa, John Denver, Dee Snider of Twisted Sister, and Jello Biafra) said that the problem with record labeling was that it violated First Amendment rights and that there was no clear definition for "moral standards".
They also argued that many of the supporters of the PMRC were not set only on labeling, but on controlling (or even banning) records with explicit content (later, other musicians also criticized the PMRC, including Megadeth and Rage Against the Machine).
Critics also point out the PMRC's emphasis on fl music (most hip-hop artists are fl, and rock is a derivation of blues); comparatively, country music records and comedy records are often overlooked or excused.

The sole function of the PMRC is to determine whether the dispute should be referred to mediation; the PMRC is not a mediating body.
If the PMRC determines that the dispute should not be referred to mediation, it shall so inform the petitioner and, in appropriate cases, the respondent in writing.
In cases in which the PMRC concludes that mediation would be appropriate, the chairperson of the PMRC, after consulting with other members of the PMRC, shall appoint a mediator to attempt to resolve the dispute.

 Rap, Rock, and Censorship (Mathieu Deflem)
The main goals of the PMRC were to inform parents about the music their youngsters were exposed to through radio broadcasts, in record stores, or at concerts, and to request the record industry for voluntary restraint with regard to explicit and obscene music.
The standpoint of the PMRC was defended by Millie Waterman, Vice-president for legislative action (sic) of the National Parents and Teachers Association.
The PMRC, by that time claiming to rely on 100,000 supporters, again sent letters of complaint to different record companies, stating that the labels were too small and that it would increase its efforts to control the release of records with explicit lyrics (Goodchild 1986:165).

 Frank Zappa's Statement at the PMRC Hearings 09/19/85
So, just as all the rest of the PMRC proposals would cost money, this would cost money too, because the record companies would need -- they should not be forced to bear the cost, the extra expenditure to the publisher, to print those lyrics.
The PMRC at one point said they would propose either a rating or warning, or printing all the lyrics on the album.
The whole drift that I have gotten, based upon the media blitz that has attended the PMRC and its rise to infamy, is that they have a special plan, and it has smelled like legislation up until now.

 TIPPER GORE QUITS PMRC? DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!
Gore's resignation from the PMRC, we are quite confident in predicting that as a result of her new position Rock, Metal, and especially Rap are in for an even more intensified attack that will be instigated by the likes of Tipper Gore.
According to Tipper's press hack, Sally Aman, "Tipper Gore has quietly tendered her resignation from all boards on which she had served prior to her husband's swearing in as Vice President in January." Aman's reasoning for this is, "That's due to her husband's position.

 Parental Advisory Labels
Since the PMRC and the RIAA’s agreement to label explicit CDs, a wide array of artists including Madonna, Lil’ Kim, Tupac, Prince, TLC and Marilyn Manson have had the sticker appear on the cover of their CDs.
Now that the PMRC’s glory days are over, the RIAA should develop different types of warning labels to better assist parents in determining what is appropriate for their children.
In retrospect, the PMRC was a classic example of people coming together for a common cause but with different agendas.
