Zappa vs PMRC

[Currently reading Silence: Lectures & Writings by John Cage]



Having grown up during a period that saw the effects of music censorship brought about by the Parents Music Resource Center, I've found that watching excerpts from the Senate Hearing in addition to related interviews on the topic, especially those that involve Frank Zappa, have been highly interesting, and give some insight into how the absolutely ridiculous situation had huge ramifications on the general public and the recording industry.

In addition to the senate hearing, which I've added below in six parts (the first part is with Dee Snider, and the other five are with Frank Zappa), I've added a Crossfire interview with Frank Zappa who rips through some extremely conservative almost right-wing idiot. All of the videos make for a great watch, so give them a go.
