In the late 1980's Tipper Gore (Al Gore's wife, and the sole reason I voted against Al or would have if I voted back then) sparked a crusade against music. She apparently heard her daughter listening to Prince, the same Prince that played the Super Bowl Half-time show three years after Janet Jackson showed the world her boob as a 'safe' artist. The song was Darling Nikki.
At this point in my life I had heard of Frank Zappa, but was only familiar with "Don't Eat The Yellow Snow". After watching this show with my family, I decided that I would delve into Mr. Zappa's music a little bit further.
Thankfully Ms. Gore was thwarted by none other than folk singer Jonh Denver and his statement to the Senate Hearing that he was "strongly opposed to censorship of any kind in our society or anywhere else in the world", and that in his experience censors often misinterpret music, as was the case with his song "Rocky Mountain High".
