About this listen
In 1985, Dee Snider, Frank Zappa, and John Denver testified before a Senate committee to address the accusation that some music lyrics were so potentially harmful to children that a warning label was needed on CDs and cassette tapes. Fifteen specific songs, called "The Filthy 15," were specifically targeted. This episode of FTR80 examines if these songs were really so "filthy" and why, nearly 30 years after rock and roll took hold of teenage hearts, the government was getting involved in what some called outright censorship of music.
