	Tipper Gore -- Gore-LIEberman 2000 unofficial campaign web site
		In 1985, Tipper Gore made a name for herself as a crusader against "porn rock." She was a founding member of the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC), a group which emerged overnight on the national media scene.
		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.
		The music industry, rock stars and fans all squared off with Tipper, calling her an array of names, including a "cultural terrorist." Future Bill Clinton defender and porn publisher, Larry Flynt publisher of Hustler magazine, referred to her in manner that was unprintable by common decency standards.

	Music Censorship- laws
		Therefore, when we speak of music censorship, we are usually referring to community or corporate attempts to regulate the society according to what they deem appropriate based on their standards and beliefs.
		In 1990, The Parents' Music Resource Center (PMRC) and a serious of Senate hearings pressured the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) to introduce a uniform labeling system using the logo, "Parental Advisory- Explicit Lyrics." However, the RIAA did not give any standards, criteria or guidelines for determining which albums should be labeled.
		Organizations that are involved in music censorship are radio stations, MTV, companys such as Walmart, and organizations such as the Parents' Music Resource Center (PMRC) are responsible for censoring and labeling albums.

	Interview With Tipper Gore
		Gore is the 2nd Vice-President of the Parents Music Resource Center or P.M.R.C. for short.
		I happen to be very open and feel that parents should communicate for more, about sex and all kinds of controversial or disturbing themes, when the child is ready to deal with it.
		I had heard reports from some parents in San Antonio who had gone to see their concert and I wanted to go and see if they were doing the same kinds of things.

	Teenagers Today: The Music Made Me Do It: How much influence does music have on teens?
		Used to provide parents with information related to the content contained within, these labels are thought to prohibit teens from purchasing music that may contain lyrics, imagery or language that may be unsuitable.
		Parents hold another view on the effectiveness of warning labels and feel their use prevents music from being censored while providing a safety net for teens.
		“Parents often forget that when they were teens they would look at their parents and promise themselves that they would never complain about the music their kids listened to or that they would never say the things their parents said to them.

	National Resource Center for Blind Musicians
		The resource center provides information and referral services for visually impaired students of all ages, their parents and teachers; learning opportunities for blind students headed to college; and maintains a network of visually impaired musicians willing to share their expertise in braille music, technology and coping strategies.
		The Resource Center is best known for its Summer Institute for Blind College-bound Musicians, a residential program which brings together students from several states and countries, who are studying music at the college level.
		The Resource Center has a small staff, and its ability to help comes mainly from being able to refer callers to people we have found over the years with expertise in particular areas.

	The PMRC: Architect of Censorship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The PMRC was created as a reaction to music perceived as obscene, vulgar, and damaging to minors.
		While it may seem like the PMRC is an organization out of the limelight and past its prime, it has actually formed into a stealth group that has tried, and succeeded, to eliminate targeted music, rather than simply antagonize it with threats and senate hearings.
		The PMRC had objections to the lyrical content of certain types of music, which it felt were corrupting the nation's children.

	PMRC, The Parents Music Resource Center, censorship, from information to censorship, About the world
		My purpose in this article is to recount the history of the Parents' Music Resource Center, an American organisation founded in 1985 whose main concern has been to denounce the obscenity and violence of rock music on the grounds that it is partly responsible for the numerous ills that plague the United States.
		The PMRC claimed that it only wished to inform the public but I intend to prove here that the actions of the organisation resulted in a de facto censorship of popular music.
		There is a tendency in Europe to consider with condescension the numerous and recurrent assaults on freedom of expression in the United States (even though, writes Donna Demac, most Americans 'believe that the United States is virtually free of [censorship]' or that it is 'less severe than...

		The music industry takes seriously its responsibility to help parents determine what is and is not appropriate for their children.
		In 1985, the RIAA worked with the National Parent Teacher Association (National PTA) and the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) to address their concerns regarding explicit content in sound recordings.
		A PAL Notice is a notice to parents and guardians that recordings identified with the Logo or another PAL Notice contain strong language and/or depictions of violence, sex or substance abuse to such an extent that parental discretion is advised.

	Rap, Rock, and Censorship (Mathieu Deflem)
		The Parents Music Resource Center was founded in 1985 as the result of the unusually combined efforts of a few concerned parents (Coletti 1987:421-426; Gray 1989a:151-153, 1989b:6-8; Kaufman 1986:228-231; McDonald 1988a:302-106; Roldan 1987:222-231).
		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.
		While acknowledging that music can influence behavior, that it affects young people in particular, that the style of music and performers has changed, and that some parents are genuinely concerned, the labeling of records signifies a deprivation for all because of the concerns of a few.

		Mozart's "Musical Joke" was the subject of research by ornithologists Luis Baptista and Meredith West, who were able to demonstrate that the piece—composed as a requiem to Mozart's pet starling—features exact musical quotations from this bird.
		Music, learning, and the brain also have been a focus of attention among educators and parents, in part because of publicity given to the so-called "Mozart effect"—based on results of a study that have never been replicated.
		Music is an important part of the daily lives of most visitors.

	Analysis
		But there are always numerous parents and private citizens who are very against censorship, such as members of The Roc, a web based organization.
		Parental involvement in children’s lives is. The government can’t put labels on the music, but they can inform the parents.
		It is these informed parents who can "parentally censor" the music of their child.

	Filthy Music: It Is Time For the Public to Speak Out (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC), formed in 1985 to raise public awareness about rock music and a party to the 1985 agreement, reported in 1986 that many companies were "blatantly ignoring, sidestepping or mocking" the agreement.
		While the Parents Music Resource Center (703-527-9466) prefers the voluntary approach over legislation, they are a valuable source of information about the dangers posed by rock music today.
		The message must be that the recording industry cannot exercise rights without accepting responsibility and that parents have a right to know what is in the music their children may want to listen to.

	Rock Music and Violence (Christian Perspective) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Excerpts from: Rolling Stone Magazine; USA Today; Adolescents' Interests, Dr. Hannelore Wass; Information for Parents' Music Resource Center, Nashville, TN A concert held by the group "Guns N' Roses" (July 2, 1991 in St Louis, Missouri) ended when the enraged mob of 2500 youths staged a riot, resulting in 60 of their numbers being injured.
		Wass concluded that these detailed interviews with young people show the need for parents to watch what their children are listening to, and to pay attention to any emerging symptoms of abnormality.
		At this point it is worth considering that the estranged nihilistic and destructive contents of rock-style music actually reflects the disposition and lives of the rock stars.

	Parental Advisory : Music Censorship in America : Press
		Welcome to the Orwellian world of Tipper Gore and the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC, which lobbied successfully for the "parental advisory" warning sticker), the Federal Trade Commission and the giant Wal-Mart chain store, which sells one of every 10 CDs in the United States.
		"Parental Advisory" argues that although the United States projects an image of hardy individualism and unfettered free speech, a long list of artists -- from the Beatles and Elvis Presley to Ozzie Osbourne and 2 Live Crew -- have run into trouble with the self-appointed guardians of public morality.
		Wal-Mart refuses to sell any CD or tape with a parental warning sticker, even if it has been slapped on by mistake, as in the case of rapper Bizzy Bone, who was mistakenly accused of condoning school violence.

		One area of music that has come under increasing criticism is "gansta rap." Artists such as Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg, both of whom have police records, have been singled out for their negative influence on today's teens by, among other people, Bob Dole.
		Another proponent of limiting the access that young people have to certain lyrics is the long dormant Parents Music Resource Center, which is formulating an agenda to make the Recording Industry Association of America tighten its policies toward explicit music.
		Instead, the PMRC offers a rating system similar to that used to rate films, ranging from G to R. The RIAA is opposed to this proposal, with good reason.
