PUDDING POP!
Dear Tipper Gore, PMRC, and CREEM readers:
On the surface your letter (CREEM, November 1986) justifying your campaign to censor rock was surprisingly convincing. I’d almost be ready to fall for your concerned mommy act if it weren’t for what your group says they really have in mind.
Nowhere in your letter do you reveal your role in founding the PMRC and staging last fall’s Senate hearings for rating rock records.
If the PMRC doesn’t want to censor, why do its own handouts call for the “reassessment of contracts of artists” who do things onstage the PMRC doesn’t approve of? This isn’t just censorship, it’s blackballing—the kind of thing done in the days of Joe McCarthy.
If the PMRC is not a front for the religious right then you certainly are their dupes. Why else would your proposed record warning sticker guidelines include a separate rating category of “O” for occult?
