Yes, I remember Tipper Gore and the PMRC. That heavy-handed approach to censoring music was everything the liberals accuse US of doing!

Also, once those "explicit" stickers were slapped on those CDs, the kids snapped them up like hotcakes. It got to the point where some rock bands purposely put a little obscenity in their songs in order to obtain the coveted sticker - much in the same way the movie industry goes out of its way to ensure at least a PG-13 rating when their target audience is 13 or above. Otherwise a "G" rating can be the kiss of death for a movie targeted to that demographic.

Well here we are decades later and the rock stars back then are mostly grouchy old farts today. Also, Tipper is divorced from Algore, who continues to shake his fist at people with "carbon footprints" as he travels around in his private jet.

Tipper could have been First Lady
2000 EV
Bush 271 Gore 266
TN 11 EV
Had Gore won his home state:
Gore 277 Bush 260

Wiki:”Tennessee was won by Governor George W. Bush by a 3.87% margin of victory, despite having voted for President Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996 and being the home state of Vice President Al Gore. If Gore had carried his home state, he, instead of Bush, would have been elected president.”
