And she should be, because she’s the best. Here are just a few reasons why:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>1. She does deadpan like nobody else. \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">I first came to love Tig after hearing her \u003ca href=\"http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/464/invisible-made-visible?act=2\" target=\"_blank\">Taylor Dayne piece on \u003ci>This American Life \u003c/i>\u003c/a>in the spring of 2012, where she talks about repeatedly running into the '80s pop singer, which is a big deal because she’s a huge fan. In an email I sent to friends a few months later that included the clip, I wrote, “\u003cspan class=\"s1\">SO hilarious. Part of her charm, btw, I think, is how cra-cra dry she is.” (Yup, outing myself on \u003ca href=\"http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cra+cra\" target=\"_blank\">cra-cra\u003c/a>.) And it’s true—her delivery is \u003ci>so\u003c/i> dry, which is what makes it so great.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSwzYB545hY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">In her HBO special, she recounts the time when a perplexed audience member explained to her (mid-show) \u003c/span>that she should end her jokes with, “I’m just kidding!” Tig smiles, amused. Deadpan has become her trademark. The success of her\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> \u003ca href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/live-deluxe-version/id666519148\" target=\"_blank\">now-iconic “cancer set\" at Largo in August 2012\u003c/a> \u003c/span>can largely be attributed to it, as can the topless performance post-double mastectomy during her HBO special. After she takes her shirt off, she never addresses it again. \u003cspan class=\"s1\">Because that’s the thing about deadpan—it’s all in the delivery, and Tig’s got it down.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Kz-lV4t-3w\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cb>2. She got her confidence from her mom, who was a serious badass.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">During her notoriously terrible 2012, one of the things that befalls Tig (aside from cancer) is losing her mother. There’s a scene in the documentary where she describes her mom as “hilarious, very silly and ridiculous,” while a montage of photos plays in the background. It’s impossible to watch without getting teary-eyed, but I lose it by the time she says this:\u003cb> \u003c/b>“She had this fierce inner strength. When I had issues as a kid, like, ‘Oh, this is happening,’ she would always be like, you know, ‘Tell them to go to hell! If they have a problem, tell them to go to hell!’ And it just, it gave me this confidence to not question myself or doubt myself.” It’s this same clip where Tig says her humor “is directly tied to her [mother’s] sensibility.” Well done, mom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">\u003cb>3.\u003c/b> \u003cb>Her \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXRsPlhx5ao\" target=\"_blank\">Moth set\u003ci>, \u003c/i>“R2 Where Are You,”\u003c/a> about bonding with her stepfather in the wake of her mother’s death, is one of the most touching I’ve seen.\u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXRsPlhx5ao\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">Early in the set, she talks about how her stepfather, Ric, who she describes as “stoic” and “emotionless,” suggested she quit comedy and go to business school, “\u003c/span>like, even just a couple of years ago when my career was going fine and I was making good money.” Years later, in the car ride home after her mom’s funeral, Ric, crying, apologizes for having said that. “I’m realizing that it’s not the child’s responsibility to teach the parent who they are. It’s the parent’s responsibility to learn who the child is. And I didn’t do that, and I’m sorry.” He goes on to say that comedy is the only thing she should be doing, and in that moment she realizes how desperately she had needed to hear that. At the end of the bit, she has happily embraced both Ric and their different ways of doing things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cb>4. Her struggle to write new material after her cancer set is painful and endearing to watch, but it’s so rewarding when she finds her way back. \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">After killing it with her Largo set, the kind of set that’s unrepeatable by design, Tig is flooded with attention, which, she admits, is amazing, but also overwhelming. What follows is what-now syndrome.\u003cb> \u003c/b>“It was truly starting over. I felt like I was a brand-new comedian,” she says in \u003ci>Tig.\u003c/i> We watch as she goes through the motions of performing again, slowly and uncomfortably, until she says she has a night where she struggles on stage like she hasn’t in years. It puts a fire under her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">Over the next five months, as she gears up for the Largo anniversary show, the one with which this documentary begins and ends, we watch her start to regain momentum and confidence. Afterward, she reflects on it with almost childlike wonder. “I couldn’t believe I was back onstage doing an hour of material. I felt like the intro to Mary Tyler Moore. I felt like I tossed my hat in the air, and I just felt like I was back!” We’re so glad to hear it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>5. Not only did Tig’s comedy change after her Largo set, but she changed too, for the better. \u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">After being told she can’t carry a child for five years, and finding a potential surrogate via her podcast, she responds very frankly when the couple asks what her dream surrogate scenario is.

And she should be, because she’s the best. Here are just a few reasons why:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>1. She does deadpan like nobody else. \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">I first came to love Tig after hearing her \u003ca href=\"http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/464/invisible-made-visible?act=2\" target=\"_blank\">Taylor Dayne piece on \u003ci>This American Life \u003c/i>\u003c/a>in the spring of 2012, where she talks about repeatedly running into the '80s pop singer, which is a big deal because she’s a huge fan. In an email I sent to friends a few months later that included the clip, I wrote, “\u003cspan class=\"s1\">SO hilarious. Part of her charm, btw, I think, is how cra-cra dry she is.” (Yup, outing myself on \u003ca href=\"http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cra+cra\" target=\"_blank\">cra-cra\u003c/a>.) And it’s true—her delivery is \u003ci>so\u003c/i> dry, which is what makes it so great.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/jSwzYB545hY'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/jSwzYB545hY'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Deadpan has become her trademark. The success of her\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> \u003ca href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/live-deluxe-version/id666519148\" target=\"_blank\">now-iconic “cancer set\" at Largo in August 2012\u003c/a> \u003c/span>can largely be attributed to it, as can the topless performance post-double mastectomy during her HBO special. After she takes her shirt off, she never addresses it again. \u003cspan class=\"s1\">Because that’s the thing about deadpan—it’s all in the delivery, and Tig’s got it down.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/9Kz-lV4t-3w'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/9Kz-lV4t-3w'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cb>2. She got her confidence from her mom, who was a serious badass.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">During her notoriously terrible 2012, one of the things that befalls Tig (aside from cancer) is losing her mother. There’s a scene in the documentary where she describes her mom as “hilarious, very silly and ridiculous,” while a montage of photos plays in the background. It’s impossible to watch without getting teary-eyed, but I lose it by the time she says this:\u003cb> \u003c/b>“She had this fierce inner strength. When I had issues as a kid, like, ‘Oh, this is happening,’ she would always be like, you know, ‘Tell them to go to hell! If they have a problem, tell them to go to hell!’ And it just, it gave me this confidence to not question myself or doubt myself.” It’s this same clip where Tig says her humor “is directly tied to her [mother’s] sensibility.” Well done, mom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">\u003cb>3.\u003c/b> \u003cb>Her \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXRsPlhx5ao\" target=\"_blank\">Moth set\u003ci>, \u003c/i>“R2 Where Are You,”\u003c/a> about bonding with her stepfather in the wake of her mother’s death, is one of the most touching I’ve seen.\u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/dXRsPlhx5ao'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/dXRsPlhx5ao'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">Early in the set, she talks about how her stepfather, Ric, who she describes as “stoic” and “emotionless,” suggested she quit comedy and go to business school, “\u003c/span>like, even just a couple of years ago when my career was going fine and I was making good money.” Years later, in the car ride home after her mom’s funeral, Ric, crying, apologizes for having said that. “I’m realizing that it’s not the child’s responsibility to teach the parent who they are. It’s the parent’s responsibility to learn who the child is. And I didn’t do that, and I’m sorry.” He goes on to say that comedy is the only thing she should be doing, and in that moment she realizes how desperately she had needed to hear that. At the end of the bit, she has happily embraced both Ric and their different ways of doing things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cb>4. Her struggle to write new material after her cancer set is painful and endearing to watch, but it’s so rewarding when she finds her way back. \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">After killing it with her Largo set, the kind of set that’s unrepeatable by design, Tig is flooded with attention, which, she admits, is amazing, but also overwhelming. What follows is what-now syndrome.\u003cb> \u003c/b>“It was truly starting over. I felt like I was a brand-new comedian,” she says in \u003ci>Tig.\u003c/i> We watch as she goes through the motions of performing again, slowly and uncomfortably, until she says she has a night where she struggles on stage like she hasn’t in years. It puts a fire under her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">Over the next five months, as she gears up for the Largo anniversary show, the one with which this documentary begins and ends, we watch her start to regain momentum and confidence. Afterward, she reflects on it with almost childlike wonder. “I couldn’t believe I was back onstage doing an hour of material. I felt like the intro to Mary Tyler Moore. I felt like I tossed my hat in the air, and I just felt like I was back!” We’re so glad to hear it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>5. Not only did Tig’s comedy change after her Largo set, but she changed too, for the better. \u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This time it's Marion Cotillard. Here's what she recently had to say about whether feminism has a place in the film industry:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"For me, it doesn’t create equality, it creates separation. I mean, I don’t qualify myself as a feminist. We need to fight for women’s rights, but I don’t want to separate women from men. We’re separated already but we’re not made the same and it’s the difference that creates this energy in creation and love. Sometimes in the word feminism there is too much separation.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Yeesh. Where to begin?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's obvious that Cotillard is a bit confused about the word \"feminist\" and what it means. You would think that Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2013/12/16/beyonce-and-chimamanda-ngozi-adichie-make-feminism-go-viral/\" target=\"_blank\">recitation of the definition\u003c/a> in Beyonce's \"Flawless\" would have cleared up the issue, but apparently it bears repeating:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/tumblr_mxweutQN7B1qlf1v0o1_500.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-18239 aligncenter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/tumblr_mxweutQN7B1qlf1v0o1_500.gif\" alt=\"beyonce feminist chimamanda\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contrary to what Cotillard believes, feminism does not create separation; it's an attempt to remedy separation. And feminism doesn't create a divide between the sexes, it's a bridge between them. Or better put, it's a ladder that allows women to climb up to the higher playing field men have enjoyed since time immemorial. The mental acrobatics one must engage in to twist a demand for equal pay, for example, into separatist misandry is the kind of bending they hand out gold medals for at the Olympics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last International Women's Day, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/emma-watson-most-inspiring-quotes-international-womens-day-facebook-feminism-speech\" target=\"_blank\">Emma Watson participated in a Q&A \u003c/a>about her #HeforShe campaign and cleared up confusion about who is a feminist and what it means in very simple terms:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Men think it’s a women’s word, but what it means is that you believe in equality. If you stand for equality, then you’re a feminist. Sorry to tell you. You’re a feminist. That’s it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's that simple, people! If you believe in equality -- boom! -- you're a feminist! Even if you have a penis! Feminism involves all of us, regardless of gender. And, despite what you may have heard, growing out your armpit hair and punching every dude you see are not requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for every Emma Watson, there are 10 Marion Cotillards. In 2013, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2013/12/16/beyonce-and-chimamanda-ngozi-adichie-make-feminism-go-viral/\" target=\"_blank\">I highlighted just a few instances\u003c/a> of famous women misunderstanding feminism:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>When asked whether they are feminists, famous women too often distance themselves from the idea either because they think being a feminist somehow means they hate men (“I’m not a feminist. I hail men, I love men.” — Lady Gaga), or they think the term has a negative connotation (“I think when people hear feminist, it’s like, ‘Get out of my way, I don’t need anyone.’ I love that I’m being taken care of and I have a man that’s a leader.” — Kelly Clarkson), or they think being a feminist means you’re a negative whiner (“I think [considering myself a feminist] would isolate me. I think it’s important to do positive stuff. It’s more important to be asking than complaining.” —Bjork), or that it means you’re a lesbian (“For me, feminism is bra-burning lesbianism. It’s very unglamorous.” — Geri Halliwell a.k.a. Ginger Spice), or they suffer from cognitive dissonance (“I am not a feminist, but I do believe in the strength of women.” — Katy Perry, while accepting Billboard’s Woman of the Year award). The list sadly goes on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When misogyny is so deep-rooted that even women are led to believe that feminism is a dirty word, and when feats like the one Wendy Davis executed are still necessary, it becomes abundantly clear that the struggle for gender equality is far from over.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only way to remedy this epidemic of misinformation is through education. Next time you hear a friend say something like, \"No, I'm not a feminist 'cause I'm a guy\" or \"I'm not a feminist 'cause I love boys\", recite the actual definition for them or sit them in front of a computer and make them watch Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's \"We Should All Be Feminists\" \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2013/12/16/beyonce-and-chimamanda-ngozi-adichie-make-feminism-go-viral/\" target=\"_blank\">TED talk\u003c/a> or hand them a book by bell hooks. And next time you see Marion Cotillard, tell her she could use a time out.\u003c/p>\n\n",

This time it's Marion Cotillard. Here's what she recently had to say about whether feminism has a place in the film industry:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"For me, it doesn’t create equality, it creates separation. I mean, I don’t qualify myself as a feminist. We need to fight for women’s rights, but I don’t want to separate women from men. We’re separated already but we’re not made the same and it’s the difference that creates this energy in creation and love. Sometimes in the word feminism there is too much separation.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Yeesh. Where to begin?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's obvious that Cotillard is a bit confused about the word \"feminist\" and what it means. You would think that Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2013/12/16/beyonce-and-chimamanda-ngozi-adichie-make-feminism-go-viral/\" target=\"_blank\">recitation of the definition\u003c/a> in Beyonce's \"Flawless\" would have cleared up the issue, but apparently it bears repeating:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/tumblr_mxweutQN7B1qlf1v0o1_500.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-18239 aligncenter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/tumblr_mxweutQN7B1qlf1v0o1_500.gif\" alt=\"beyonce feminist chimamanda\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contrary to what Cotillard believes, feminism does not create separation; it's an attempt to remedy separation. And feminism doesn't create a divide between the sexes, it's a bridge between them. Or better put, it's a ladder that allows women to climb up to the higher playing field men have enjoyed since time immemorial. The mental acrobatics one must engage in to twist a demand for equal pay, for example, into separatist misandry is the kind of bending they hand out gold medals for at the Olympics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last International Women's Day, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/emma-watson-most-inspiring-quotes-international-womens-day-facebook-feminism-speech\" target=\"_blank\">Emma Watson participated in a Q&A \u003c/a>about her #HeforShe campaign and cleared up confusion about who is a feminist and what it means in very simple terms:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Men think it’s a women’s word, but what it means is that you believe in equality. If you stand for equality, then you’re a feminist. Sorry to tell you. You’re a feminist. That’s it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's that simple, people! If you believe in equality -- boom! -- you're a feminist! Even if you have a penis! Feminism involves all of us, regardless of gender. And, despite what you may have heard, growing out your armpit hair and punching every dude you see are not requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for every Emma Watson, there are 10 Marion Cotillards. In 2013, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2013/12/16/beyonce-and-chimamanda-ngozi-adichie-make-feminism-go-viral/\" target=\"_blank\">I highlighted just a few instances\u003c/a> of famous women misunderstanding feminism:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>When asked whether they are feminists, famous women too often distance themselves from the idea either because they think being a feminist somehow means they hate men (“I’m not a feminist. I hail men, I love men.” — Lady Gaga), or they think the term has a negative connotation (“I think when people hear feminist, it’s like, ‘Get out of my way, I don’t need anyone.’ I love that I’m being taken care of and I have a man that’s a leader.” — Kelly Clarkson), or they think being a feminist means you’re a negative whiner (“I think [considering myself a feminist] would isolate me. I think it’s important to do positive stuff. It’s more important to be asking than complaining.” —Bjork), or that it means you’re a lesbian (“For me, feminism is bra-burning lesbianism. It’s very unglamorous.” — Geri Halliwell a.k.a. Ginger Spice), or they suffer from cognitive dissonance (“I am not a feminist, but I do believe in the strength of women.” — Katy Perry, while accepting Billboard’s Woman of the Year award). The list sadly goes on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When misogyny is so deep-rooted that even women are led to believe that feminism is a dirty word, and when feats like the one Wendy Davis executed are still necessary, it becomes abundantly clear that the struggle for gender equality is far from over.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only way to remedy this epidemic of misinformation is through education. Next time you hear a friend say something like, \"No, I'm not a feminist 'cause I'm a guy\" or \"I'm not a feminist 'cause I love boys\", recite the actual definition for them or sit them in front of a computer and make them watch Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's \"We Should All Be Feminists\" \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2013/12/16/beyonce-and-chimamanda-ngozi-adichie-make-feminism-go-viral/\" target=\"_blank\">TED talk\u003c/a> or hand them a book by bell hooks. And next time you see Marion Cotillard, tell her she could use a time out.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>Dear Uber,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We hear you recently discovered -- in a very Christopher Columbus sense of the word -- the city of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like so many former San Franciscans before you, you noticed that this land just on the other side of the bay offers so many perks: more space, (slightly) cheaper rent, a sense of community; it's a place where a middle-class family can, for the time being, still raise a family. It's also plagued by severe poverty in some neighborhoods, and the crime rates that usually accompany an atmosphere in which people are willing to do anything to put dinner on the table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noting this, you might have been expecting to be welcomed with open arms when you announced you'd be expanding your business into Oakland in 2017, with your \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/real-estate/2015/09/exclusive-uber-oakland-sears-building.html\">purchase of the historic former Sears building downtown\u003c/a>. With room for 3,000 employees, filling the entire building would easily make you the biggest business in town that isn't a government agency or medical center. Surely Mayor Libby Schaaf, who has very publicly been courting tech companies since her election last November, has rolled out the red carpet on her end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're proud that Uber was attracted to Oakland's creative energy, incredible talent, progressive values, prime location and accessibility to the entire region,\" said Schaaf in a statement yesterday. \"I also look forward to helping Uber make other meaningful contributions to Oakland that will make this a more equitable, vibrant city where everyone can thrive.” She then appeared at a press conference alongside Uber's Renee Atwood (\"Global Head of People and Places\"), each of 'em smiling wide to announce the beginning of a beautiful friendship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was at this press conference, dear Uber, that you may have gotten a taste of one reason why the rest of Oakland -- which is to say, the people of Oakland, the moms and dads and teenagers and toddlers who live and work and go to school here -- may not be ready to throw you a welcome party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When a reporter asked Atwood for current numbers on diversity among Uber employees -- numbers that reflect the male/female balance and the ethnic makeup of the company's workforce -- she deflected it by noting that Uber \"just got health insurance\" for its employees. Asked again, specifically, for the number of African-Americans amongst Uber's ranks, Atwood stumbled, saying \"We're just not at a point to help -- we just don't have those numbers right now.\" She did know that one in five Uber employees currently lives in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She might not have had other numbers in front of her. Or maybe the other numbers just wouldn't sound so good during a press conference. Uber, which \u003ca href=\"http://www.wnyc.org/story/uber-city-hall-race/\" target=\"_blank\">WNYC recently described as \"a giant corporation valued at $50 billion and without a single African-American on its leadership team,\"\u003c/a> has been consistently reluctant to release data about the makeup of its employee base, which currently consists of about 170,000 drivers in addition to some 2000 workers at the company's San Francisco headquarters.\u003cstrong>***\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So! Uber. With your numbers set to potentially double over the next year, assuming you plan to fill up your new Oakland turf, we thought we'd send over a few ideas. Here are some ways to make friends in your new neighborhood:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Learn the incredibly rich history and culture of the city, in a way that goes beyond PR-speak. \u003c/strong>We shouldn't need to tell you this, but Oakland was the birthplace of the Black Panthers; the city has been one of the nation's historic African-American centers for over 100 years, in large part thanks to the railroad expansion in the late 19th century. Now, \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201107071000\" target=\"_blank\">\"black flight\" \u003c/a>is real and \u003ca href=\"http://sfpublicpress.org/news/2011-09/black-flight-from-oakland-to-suburbs-is-reshaping-makeup-of-the-city\" target=\"_blank\">it's happening\u003c/a>. Consider hiring in such a way that the ethnic makeup of your workforce reflects the city in which they work. In Oakland, this means nearly 30 percent African-American and 25 percent Latino. \u003ca href=\"http://nul.iamempowered.com/\" target=\"_blank\">There are many\u003c/a>, many \u003ca href=\"http://www.nclr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">organizations\u003c/a> that will \u003ca href=\"http://workplacediversity.com/organizations/\" target=\"_blank\">help you do this\u003c/a>, if you are having trouble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the same vein, Oakland has a longstanding tradition of social and political activism, and you're not going to get away with ignoring it. \u003ca href=\"https://teamster.org/news/2014/08/uber-drivers-southern-california-form-association-teamsters-local-986\" target=\"_blank\">Long before Occupy Oakland, this meant labor unions, which we\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://teamster.org/news/2014/08/uber-drivers-southern-california-form-association-teamsters-local-986\" target=\"_blank\"> hear you're not \u003c/a>too fond of. If you're not going to give your drivers benefits (a whole other, \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2015/09/02/uber-lawsuit/\" target=\"_blank\">well-covered can of worms\u003c/a>), try partnering with local social justice organizations. Make your year-end donations public. Pay for arts education in Oakland's schools. Establish a mentorship program for underserved youth who want to be engineers. And yeah, pre-emptively, we're sorry (kind of?) about whatever happens to your windows during the next protest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> Get to know your neighbors. \u003c/strong>As a first step, don't structure your corporate environment in such a way that employees never have to go outside. Much has been made of plans to renovate the 19th Street BART station (to which the new Uber building is adjacent) into a multi-level retail and work space, with food options, a roof garden, and more. \u003ca href=\"http://www.gensler.com/projects/uptown-station\" target=\"_blank\">Meet Uptown Station\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://vimeo.com/133703787\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Urban pioneers\"? \u003ca href=\"http://sf.curbed.com/archives/2015/09/23/omg_uber_to_pick_up_oaklands_redesigned_sears_building_for_office_space.php\" target=\"_blank\">Cool story, Lane Partners\u003c/a>. Except that this isn't exactly uncharted rural territory. Downtown Oakland is a real place, with real residents and employees who already exist. A multiplex like Uptown Station means employees who work at the new Oakland Uber location won't have to take one step outside onto Broadway, nor interact with a single regular Oakland resident, if they don't want to. Even your current employees in downtown San Francisco have to walk about a block and a half on Market to get to their safe zone. Not Oakland Uber-ers: They can avoid homeless people entirely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How to combat this? Try having happy hour at Cafe Van Kleef -- even if you've got a lovely new roof garden. Buy your coffee from a local shop. Take in a show at the New Parish or the Stork Club. The physical structure of a business impacts its culture impacts its \u003cem>impact\u003c/em>. That sums it up, actually: Think about what you're doing. Think about who it affects. Think about what trailblazing actually means. Thoughtfulness goes a long way in these parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oh, and please lock CEO Travis Kalanick in a room somewhere and \u003ca href=\"https://pando.com/2014/02/27/we-call-that-boob-er-the-four-most-awful-things-travis-kalanick-said-in-his-gq-profile/\" target=\"_blank\">don't let him talk anymore\u003c/a>.\u003c/strong> That has nothing to do with Oakland. It'd probably just be good for business in general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Love,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emma\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>***\u003cem>The closest thing to official numbers come from \u003ca href=\"http://www.thedrum.com/news/2015/01/23/infographic-uber-driver-diversity-breakdown-14-female-and-more\" target=\"_blank\">a report Uber commissioned the Benenson Strategy Group to conduct\u003c/a> by polling drivers from 20 different markets back in January. The results boasted that Uber's \"driver-partners\" were 18 percent African-American, 15 percent Asian or Pacific Islander, 16 percent Hispanic/Latino, and 37 percent Caucasian. Only problem? Those numbers come from a poll of 601 drivers...out of 170,000. The 2000 employees at SF headquarters were not included. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Asked again, specifically, for the number of African-Americans amongst Uber's ranks, Atwood stumbled, saying \"We're just not at a point to help -- we just don't have those numbers right now.\" She did know that one in five Uber employees currently lives in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She might not have had other numbers in front of her. Or maybe the other numbers just wouldn't sound so good during a press conference. Uber, which \u003ca href=\"http://www.wnyc.org/story/uber-city-hall-race/\" target=\"_blank\">WNYC recently described as \"a giant corporation valued at $50 billion and without a single African-American on its leadership team,\"\u003c/a> has been consistently reluctant to release data about the makeup of its employee base, which currently consists of about 170,000 drivers in addition to some 2000 workers at the company's San Francisco headquarters.\u003cstrong>***\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So! Uber. With your numbers set to potentially double over the next year, assuming you plan to fill up your new Oakland turf, we thought we'd send over a few ideas. Here are some ways to make friends in your new neighborhood:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Learn the incredibly rich history and culture of the city, in a way that goes beyond PR-speak. \u003c/strong>We shouldn't need to tell you this, but Oakland was the birthplace of the Black Panthers; the city has been one of the nation's historic African-American centers for over 100 years, in large part thanks to the railroad expansion in the late 19th century. Now, \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201107071000\" target=\"_blank\">\"black flight\" \u003c/a>is real and \u003ca href=\"http://sfpublicpress.org/news/2011-09/black-flight-from-oakland-to-suburbs-is-reshaping-makeup-of-the-city\" target=\"_blank\">it's happening\u003c/a>. Consider hiring in such a way that the ethnic makeup of your workforce reflects the city in which they work. In Oakland, this means nearly 30 percent African-American and 25 percent Latino. \u003ca href=\"http://nul.iamempowered.com/\" target=\"_blank\">There are many\u003c/a>, many \u003ca href=\"http://www.nclr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">organizations\u003c/a> that will \u003ca href=\"http://workplacediversity.com/organizations/\" target=\"_blank\">help you do this\u003c/a>, if you are having trouble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the same vein, Oakland has a longstanding tradition of social and political activism, and you're not going to get away with ignoring it. \u003ca href=\"https://teamster.org/news/2014/08/uber-drivers-southern-california-form-association-teamsters-local-986\" target=\"_blank\">Long before Occupy Oakland, this meant labor unions, which we\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://teamster.org/news/2014/08/uber-drivers-southern-california-form-association-teamsters-local-986\" target=\"_blank\"> hear you're not \u003c/a>too fond of. If you're not going to give your drivers benefits (a whole other, \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2015/09/02/uber-lawsuit/\" target=\"_blank\">well-covered can of worms\u003c/a>), try partnering with local social justice organizations. Make your year-end donations public. Pay for arts education in Oakland's schools. Establish a mentorship program for underserved youth who want to be engineers. And yeah, pre-emptively, we're sorry (kind of?) about whatever happens to your windows during the next protest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> Get to know your neighbors. \u003c/strong>As a first step, don't structure your corporate environment in such a way that employees never have to go outside. Much has been made of plans to renovate the 19th Street BART station (to which the new Uber building is adjacent) into a multi-level retail and work space, with food options, a roof garden, and more. \u003ca href=\"http://www.gensler.com/projects/uptown-station\" target=\"_blank\">Meet Uptown Station\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Except that this isn't exactly uncharted rural territory. Downtown Oakland is a real place, with real residents and employees who already exist. A multiplex like Uptown Station means employees who work at the new Oakland Uber location won't have to take one step outside onto Broadway, nor interact with a single regular Oakland resident, if they don't want to. Even your current employees in downtown San Francisco have to walk about a block and a half on Market to get to their safe zone. Not Oakland Uber-ers: They can avoid homeless people entirely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How to combat this? Try having happy hour at Cafe Van Kleef -- even if you've got a lovely new roof garden. Buy your coffee from a local shop. Take in a show at the New Parish or the Stork Club. The physical structure of a business impacts its culture impacts its \u003cem>impact\u003c/em>. That sums it up, actually: Think about what you're doing. Think about who it affects. Think about what trailblazing actually means.

Bergdahl, here's a little refresher: while stationed in Afghanistan in 2009, Bergdahl left his base in the middle of the night and disappeared. At some point he was captured by the Taliban, who held him for five years. After being lobbied by his family back home, the U.S. negotiated for Bergdahl's release, which they got in exchange for freeing five Guantanamo Bay detainees in May of last year. But after Bergdahl was returned to the Army, his fellow soldiers in Afghanistan complained that he had actually abandoned his post, which led to him being charged with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy.

Bergdahl, here's a little refresher: while stationed in Afghanistan in 2009, Bergdahl left his base in the middle of the night and disappeared. At some point he was captured by the Taliban, who held him for five years. After being lobbied by his family back home, the U.S. negotiated for Bergdahl's release, which they got in exchange for freeing five Guantanamo Bay detainees in May of last year. But after Bergdahl was returned to the Army, his fellow soldiers in Afghanistan complained that he had actually abandoned his post, which led to him being charged with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. He now faces life in prison.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bergdahl is currently in Texas awaiting trial and, a month ago, \u003ca href=\"http://www.maxim.com/entertainment/article/exclusive-serial-podcast-bowe-bergdahl-2015-9\" target=\"_blank\">\u003ci>Maxim\u003c/i> reported\u003c/a> that \u003ci>Serial\u003c/i> producer Sarah Koening was spotted in the courtroom during a preliminary hearing for his case.

In a packed hall, Senator Paula Hawkins (R-Fla.) takes the podium with a magenta blazer and a stern edge to her voice: There's a piece of evidence she wants her fellow legislators to see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t watch much television,” she begins. “I’m not sure how many of my colleagues get much opportunity to watch any of the music video shows now available on cable and free TV. But I have brought along two videos from which to choose, which I believe are representative of the kind of presentation which have caused the furor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will show them,” she concludes awkwardly, glancing down at her notes. “The first is by the group, uh...Van Halen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then a woodgrain television is wheeled out toward the front of the room, and the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee sits and politely watches the music video for “Hot for Teacher.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M4_Ommfvv0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The circus-like nature of the current primaries might seem unprecedented, but by all accounts, the situation in Washington 30 years ago this week was much, much weirder. Ronald Reagan had been sworn in for a second presidential term nine months earlier, having won one of the biggest landslides in electoral history. The religious right wielded incredible power, while the left grasped for some way to reinvent itself -- and, by all accounts, they decided on a culture war. Never mind that the cards of the Iran-Contra affair were being dealt behind closed doors: In the halls of congress, Tipper Gore, wife of then-Senator Al Gore, was on a mission to protect American children from Cyndi Lauper singing about the joys of masturbation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, sex-, drug- and occult-laced rock ‘n’ roll music was corrupting American youth faster than you could say \u003cem>Purple Rain\u003c/em>, argued Gore, and it was the government’s job to stop it. Her newly formed Parents Music Resource Center pushed for the Recording Industry Association of America to establish a rating system similar to the one in place for movies, by which to warn parents when records were not suitable for young ears, and why: V for Violent, X for sexually explicit, and so forth. They also argued for lyric sheets printed on every scandalous record that made it to shelves, and incentives for record stores to simply decide not to carry records deemed explicit at all. (Wal-Mart eventually took this bait.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18112\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 428px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/5560437719_eb164cc08d.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-18112\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/5560437719_eb164cc08d-400x404.jpg\" alt=\"Distributed by the PMRC.\" width=\"428\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/5560437719_eb164cc08d-400x404.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/5560437719_eb164cc08d-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/5560437719_eb164cc08d-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/5560437719_eb164cc08d-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/5560437719_eb164cc08d-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/5560437719_eb164cc08d-75x75.jpg 75w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/5560437719_eb164cc08d.jpg 495w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 428px) 100vw, 428px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">This list was distributed by the PMRC to note the most scandalous songs of the era. Yes, really.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"We're not censors,\" Tipper Gore told \u003cem>Rolling Stone\u003c/em> at the time. \"We want a tool from the industry that is peddling this stuff to children, a consumer tool with which parents can make an informed decision on what to buy. What we're talking about is a sick new strain of rock music glorifying everything from forced sex to bondage and rape.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Music industry veteran Danny Goldberg, then the head of Gold Castle Records, didn’t disagree that there were some unpleasant lyrics out there in the world of ‘80s rock music. But he did, like many others, recognize the huge potential for such a “consumer tool” to infringe on artists’ First Amendment rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The primary trigger for movies [ratings] had to do with nudity, and four-letter words, these very tangible criteria. And a lot of the songs they were targeting -- obviously there’s no nudity in a lyric, it’s an audio experience. And even then the songs they were targeting didn’t necessarily have four-letter words,” says Goldberg from New York, where he now heads Gold Village Entertainment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prince’s “Darling Nikki,” for instance, was the subject of very heated discussion thanks to the word “masturbate.” (He left the subtlety to Lauper, as it were.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any time you have subjective criteria like that, you’re creating a climate of inhibition,\" says Goldberg. \"And that would just completely contradict the spirit of what popular music is about, which is the voice of teenagers, in a way. It would have caused an impediment to selling to people under 18, which was a large part of the audience for some of these artists. The way they demonized pop music was just not intellectually honest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noting that the RIAA wasn't designed to deal with such controversies -- up until then, it had mostly dealt with copyright law -- Goldberg called every label owner and band manager he could think of, and forged a partnership with the ACLU. A few press releases later, the controversy’s place in the media spotlight was sealed -- even before the strangest of pop music’s bedfellows came together to testify on behalf of free speech. (The anti-labeling faction called itself the Musical Majority, in a nod to Jerry Falwell’s Moral Majority, a reference of which, Goldberg notes, he was rather proud.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the weeks that followed, during what newspapers gleefully referred to as \"porn-rock\" hearings, Congress saw the testimonies of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgAF8Vu8G0w\" target=\"_blank\">typically meandering yet cogent Frank Zappa\u003c/a>, a surprisingly eloquent (and Christian-identifying) Dee Snider, and -- perhaps most shockingly -- a staunchly anti-censorship and yet still squeaky-clean John Denver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgSjjD6rRu4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over a period of two months (during which a pastor read \u003ca href=\"http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4525867/us-senate-hears-mentors-lyrics\" target=\"_blank\">lyrics about golden showers aloud in Congress\u003c/a>, among other memorable testimonies), they and other free speech advocates argued the PMRC down to the program that’s been in place ever since: the little old sticker in the bottom right-hand corner of a cassette tape or CD denoting “explicit content” -- which really just means profanity, which really just means five or six words. Individual labels and artists could choose which records got the stickers; retailers could choose whether or not they wanted to sell the explicit versions or the “clean” ones or both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And henceforth, protected from pop music, no teenager ever wanted to have sex or smoke weed ever again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juuust kidding. So what kind of impact did the PAL actually have?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would say the program was mainly a failure based on what they were trying to achieve,” says Marc Weinstein, co-founder of Amoeba Music, whose first store opened in Berkeley in 1990. “More often than not, from what I saw, it actually became a sales tool -- it made it easier for teenagers to identify the cool stuff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we ever wound up with the censored version it was by mistake, and we would sell them for a dollar or so just out of disrespect for the program,” he adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In practice, the whole concept reminded Weinstein of a different failed program: The “Home Taping Is Killing Music” slogan adopted by the British Phonographic Industry in the early ‘80s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obviously the [PAL] is a freedom of speech issue, but...they go hand-in-hand for me,” says Weinstein. “Just these silly ways the industry tried to deal with behavior that you can’t really regulate, which in the end is natural behavior. No one was getting hurt, and they’re spending time and money creating this program...I don’t know what they thought they were going to accomplish. It was just clueless.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The RIAA, which updated its guidelines for the PAL program in 2006, disputes the notion that teenagers are actually drawn to the labels. “It’s not a PAL Notice that kids look for, it’s the music,” insists \u003ca href=\"http://www.riaa.com/toolsforparents.php?content_selector=parental_advisory\" target=\"_blank\">the organization’s website\u003c/a>.

Ronald Reagan had been sworn in for a second presidential term nine months earlier, having won one of the biggest landslides in electoral history. The religious right wielded incredible power, while the left grasped for some way to reinvent itself -- and, by all accounts, they decided on a culture war. Never mind that the cards of the Iran-Contra affair were being dealt behind closed doors: In the halls of congress, Tipper Gore, wife of then-Senator Al Gore, was on a mission to protect American children from Cyndi Lauper singing about the joys of masturbation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, sex-, drug- and occult-laced rock ‘n’ roll music was corrupting American youth faster than you could say \u003cem>Purple Rain\u003c/em>, argued Gore, and it was the government’s job to stop it. Her newly formed Parents Music Resource Center pushed for the Recording Industry Association of America to establish a rating system similar to the one in place for movies, by which to warn parents when records were not suitable for young ears, and why: V for Violent, X for sexually explicit, and so forth. They also argued for lyric sheets printed on every scandalous record that made it to shelves, and incentives for record stores to simply decide not to carry records deemed explicit at all. (Wal-Mart eventually took this bait.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18112\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 428px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/5560437719_eb164cc08d.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-18112\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/5560437719_eb164cc08d-400x404.jpg\" alt=\"Distributed by the PMRC.\" width=\"428\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/5560437719_eb164cc08d-400x404.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/5560437719_eb164cc08d-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/5560437719_eb164cc08d-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/5560437719_eb164cc08d-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/5560437719_eb164cc08d-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/5560437719_eb164cc08d-75x75.jpg 75w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/5560437719_eb164cc08d.jpg 495w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 428px) 100vw, 428px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">This list was distributed by the PMRC to note the most scandalous songs of the era.

What we're talking about is a sick new strain of rock music glorifying everything from forced sex to bondage and rape.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Music industry veteran Danny Goldberg, then the head of Gold Castle Records, didn’t disagree that there were some unpleasant lyrics out there in the world of ‘80s rock music. But he did, like many others, recognize the huge potential for such a “consumer tool” to infringe on artists’ First Amendment rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The primary trigger for movies [ratings] had to do with nudity, and four-letter words, these very tangible criteria. And a lot of the songs they were targeting -- obviously there’s no nudity in a lyric, it’s an audio experience. And even then the songs they were targeting didn’t necessarily have four-letter words,” says Goldberg from New York, where he now heads Gold Village Entertainment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prince’s “Darling Nikki,” for instance, was the subject of very heated discussion thanks to the word “masturbate.” (He left the subtlety to Lauper, as it were.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any time you have subjective criteria like that, you’re creating a climate of inhibition,\" says Goldberg. \"And that would just completely contradict the spirit of what popular music is about, which is the voice of teenagers, in a way. It would have caused an impediment to selling to people under 18, which was a large part of the audience for some of these artists. The way they demonized pop music was just not intellectually honest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noting that the RIAA wasn't designed to deal with such controversies -- up until then, it had mostly dealt with copyright law -- Goldberg called every label owner and band manager he could think of, and forged a partnership with the ACLU. A few press releases later, the controversy’s place in the media spotlight was sealed -- even before the strangest of pop music’s bedfellows came together to testify on behalf of free speech. (The anti-labeling faction called itself the Musical Majority, in a nod to Jerry Falwell’s Moral Majority, a reference of which, Goldberg notes, he was rather proud.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the weeks that followed, during what newspapers gleefully referred to as \"porn-rock\" hearings, Congress saw the testimonies of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgAF8Vu8G0w\" target=\"_blank\">typically meandering yet cogent Frank Zappa\u003c/a>, a surprisingly eloquent (and Christian-identifying) Dee Snider, and -- perhaps most shockingly -- a staunchly anti-censorship and yet still squeaky-clean John Denver.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/VgSjjD6rRu4'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/VgSjjD6rRu4'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Over a period of two months (during which a pastor read \u003ca href=\"http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4525867/us-senate-hears-mentors-lyrics\" target=\"_blank\">lyrics about golden showers aloud in Congress\u003c/a>, among other memorable testimonies), they and other free speech advocates argued the PMRC down to the program that’s been in place ever since: the little old sticker in the bottom right-hand corner of a cassette tape or CD denoting “explicit content” -- which really just means profanity, which really just means five or six words. Individual labels and artists could choose which records got the stickers; retailers could choose whether or not they wanted to sell the explicit versions or the “clean” ones or both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And henceforth, protected from pop music, no teenager ever wanted to have sex or smoke weed ever again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juuust kidding. So what kind of impact did the PAL actually have?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would say the program was mainly a failure based on what they were trying to achieve,” says Marc Weinstein, co-founder of Amoeba Music, whose first store opened in Berkeley in 1990. “More often than not, from what I saw, it actually became a sales tool -- it made it easier for teenagers to identify the cool stuff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we ever wound up with the censored version it was by mistake, and we would sell them for a dollar or so just out of disrespect for the program,” he adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In practice, the whole concept reminded Weinstein of a different failed program: The “Home Taping Is Killing Music” slogan adopted by the British Phonographic Industry in the early ‘80s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obviously the [PAL] is a freedom of speech issue, but...they go hand-in-hand for me,” says Weinstein. “Just these silly ways the industry tried to deal with behavior that you can’t really regulate, which in the end is natural behavior. No one was getting hurt, and they’re spending time and money creating this program...I don’t know what they thought they were going to accomplish. It was just clueless.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The RIAA, which updated its guidelines for the PAL program in 2006, disputes the notion that teenagers are actually drawn to the labels. “It’s not a PAL Notice that kids look for, it’s the music,” insists \u003ca href=\"http://www.riaa.com/toolsforparents.php?content_selector=parental_advisory\" target=\"_blank\">the organization’s website\u003c/a>.

We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum.
