9/19/85 DEE SNIDER’S FULL 34 MINUTE TESTIMONY TO THE P.M.R.C. -
In August 1985, 19 record companies agreed to put "Parental Guidance: Explicit Lyrics" labels on albums to warn of explicit lyrical content. However, before the labels could be put into place, the SENATE agreed to hold a hearing on so-called "porn rock". This began on September 19, 1985, when representatives from the PMRC, Musician (Twisted Sister Vocalist) DEE SNIDER and Senators PAULA HAWKINS and AL GORE testified before the SENATE COMMERCE, SCIENCE and TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE on "the subject of the content of certain sound recordings and suggestions that recording packages be labeled to provide a warning to prospective purchasers of sexually explicit or other potentially offensive content."
