"content": "\u003cp>Ask a dozen musicians about their recipe for success given the current state of the music industry, and you're likely to get a dozen different answers: social media; commercial licensing; relentless, DIY touring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One path you're not going to hear recommended very often: Write a highly specific, almost alarmingly prescient electro-pop fight song about a sports organization with the longest championship drought in the history of baseball -- and then have said team get really, really good. Like, decent chance of them making it to the World Series for the first time in 60 years good. History in the making good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It might be a risky road to bet on, but for Katie Day -- Chicago native, San Francisco resident -- it's working out pretty damn well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By the Lakeside,\" a song she wrote a year ago about what's going to happen when the Chicago Cubs finally win the World Series -- which hasn't happened since 1908, for those of you not keeping score -- recently landed Day on the front page of the Chicago \u003cem>Sun-Times. \u003c/em>As the Cubs sailed into the postseason\u003cem>, s\u003c/em>he \u003ca href=\"http://wgnradio.com/2015/10/01/musician-katie-day-by-the-lake/\" target=\"_blank\">performed live on WGN\u003c/a>, as well a handful of local talk radio stations and podcasts. Last week, the founder of the coveted indie studio recordings series Daytrotter got in touch to see if she'd like to \u003ca href=\"http://www.daytrotter.com/#!/concert/katie-day/21022485-373890631\" target=\"_blank\">do a session\u003c/a>: Turns out he's a lifelong Cubs fan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSuc0G_QnUc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The track -- an upbeat, hopeful anthem with a zippy, synth-driven hook -- would be a perfect backdrop, conveniently, for popping champagne. But a year ago, as she wrote in her bedroom while the news of the Giants' third World Series victory blared over the radio, Day's mood was considerably more sour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sports dynasties have been following me since I left home at 18,\" Day told me via email when I asked about her inspiration for the tune. (She's gone back to Chicago for the duration of the postseason, and notes that the Cubs have won 100 percent of the days she's been home.) She moved to Boston to study at the Berklee College of Music in 2003 -- and the Patriots won the Super Bowl. Then the Red Sox won two World Series. She's lived through three World Series wins in San Francisco, a '49ers NFC championship, and last year's Warriors championship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My friends have joked for years about me moving to their cities to bring their sports teams luck,\" she says. \"But it sucks as a Chicago fan. It's like getting dumped repeatedly and having to celebrate all your friends' weddings. Always the bridesmaid...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she wrote \"By the Lakeside\" last October, it was a way to document that frustration.

"content": "\u003cp>I was talking with a friend recently about how, in this age of perpetual social media connection, it's easy to develop a distorted sense of which issues actually matter to the American populace at large: You tend to be friends with, or follow, people who agree with you on social and political issues, or at the very least share some basic interests. As a lady and a music journalist, I know that my news feeds reflect a higher level of concern about sexism in the entertainment industry than I should probably, realistically, ascribe to Joe the Plumber (or whomever we're using as the personification of the American middle-class during this election cycle).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>That said:\u003c/em> In the past 48 hours, two different interviews with two very different female musicians, conducted in two different mediums -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2015/10/06/446083413/chrissie-hynde-im-just-telling-my-story\" target=\"_blank\">one with Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders, on NPR\u003c/a>, and another with \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/11/magazine/the-passion-of-nicki-minaj.html\" target=\"_blank\">Nicki Minaj, who graces the cover of this week's \u003cem>New York Times Magazine\u003c/em>\u003c/a> -- have been flying around \"my\" Internet with such ubiquity that it gave me pause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In essence, both interviews include sections where their subjects get annoyed with a question from their interviewer, questions they don't feel they should have to answer, and decide to say as much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Hynde's case -- after sitting through \u003ca href=\"http://www.edrants.com/in-defense-of-chrissie-hynde-why-npr-needs-to-change-and-why-david-greene-is-a-sexist-fool/\" target=\"_blank\">a line of questioning from NPR's David Greene that's clumsy at best\u003c/a> -- she expresses annoyance at his wanting her to simply repeat anecdotes from her recently published memoir, \u003cem>Reckless.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, Greene mentions how she was influenced by the Rolling Stones, a non-question that prompts a justifiable \"Is that your question?\" from Hynde, whom Greene notes at the conversation's outset is a notoriously tough interview. (She's also a bonafide, old-school rock star.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not gonna tell you that story because I already wrote it in the book,\" she then says, exasperated, when prompted to repeat the details of a controversial section in which Hynde recalls being assaulted by a group of bikers sometime in her early '20s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She never refers to it as rape, and has \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/10/the-public-shaming-of-chrissie-hynde/409234/\" target=\"_blank\">said some things I vehemently disagree with about women needing to \"take responsibility\" for how they dress and behave in such situations\u003c/a> -- but, for our purposes here, that's beside the point. Greene is asking for the memoir's highlight reel, and in this case the highlights are some intensely personal revelations that Hynde doesn't really feel like reciting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/11/magazine/the-passion-of-nicki-minaj.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">Minaj interview\u003c/a>, writer Vanessa Grigoriadis notes a number of instances in which the pop star refuses to answer questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don’t even want to discuss that. That’s so old to me,\" says Minaj with an air of disgust when Grigoriadis asks how the singer was influenced by Lady Gaga's tendency toward costumes as performance art. She brushes off a question about her career's chronology in the early days, when she used to sell tapes out of her car, as \"dumb.\" But the (diamond-covered) gloves really come off when the journalist asks if Minaj might possibly \"thrive\" on drama, like the beef between her boyfriend, Meek Mill, and her label mate, Drake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every one of the angry words Minaj lobs at Grigoriadis in response -- \"rude,\" \"troublemaker,\" \"Do not speak to me like I’m stupid or beneath you in any way,\" and, lastly, \"I don’t care to speak to you anymore\" -- is arguably deserved, and the writer acknowledges as much, stating that she regretted the question as soon as it passed her lips. I actually really enjoyed this profile, and I think Grigoriadis tried to do right by Minaj. But the feeling the reader is left with, as Grigoriadis slinks away from the pop star's apartment, is one of Minaj being, yes, \"difficult.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So: Let's talk about this notion of celebrities being \"difficult.\" When a famous person gives an interview, it is usually because they have a new product -- a film, a book, an album -- to promote. And what we are measuring when we discuss how easy or tough of an interview they are, really, is their willingness to play ball: to answer the same questions over and over, to repeat sound bytes, to seem affable while they probably want to slit their throat. This is part of your job when you are a famous person and I don't exactly feel sympathy for most multi-millionaires when they have to sit through a few hackneyed conversations in order to make more millions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet. How much of a person, exactly, are we owed in this format? \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALBwaO-rAsE\" target=\"_blank\">Robert Downey Jr. famously stormed out of a press junket interview \u003c/a>earlier this year when the reporter veered off-course, asking questions about his past substance abuse; the actor was mostly applauded for it. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lou Reed was aggressively obnoxious in interviews with such consistency that it became a part of his persona; besides, it felt earned. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But how, exactly, did he earn it? \u003c/span>Where are the lines between \"justifiably annoyed\" and \"difficult\" and \"such a badass, you can do whatever you want\"? Do they move depending on what type of performer you are? Your genre? Your gender?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyoncé's chosen to dodge the question (and the print media) entirely as of late, and in return The \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/20/fashion/beyonce-is-seen-but-not-heard.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">ran a story whose entire thesis was that Beyoncé hasn't been giving interviews\u003c/a> lately.

We can all agree that Robert Downey Jr. shouldn't have to discuss personal problems in every interview for the rest of his life. Should Nicki Minaj? Does this contract change when your public persona is purposefully larger than life? How about when you routinely use mediums you control, like Twitter, to share opinions you \u003cem>do\u003c/em> feel should be public --\u003ca href=\"http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/10/08/nicki-minaj-teaches-miley-cyrus-a-lesson-about-white-privilege.html\" target=\"_blank\"> like comments on racism in your industry?\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I'll leave you with this: A study released last month by researchers at Arizona State University and the University of Illinois that most likely surprised some men and exactly zero women showed that \u003ca href=\"http://www.psmag.com/politics-and-law/anger-reduces-womens-ability-to-influence-others\" target=\"_blank\">women who express anger lose respect from their peers\u003c/a>, while men actually gain it. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'd be interested to hear what Hynde and Minaj would have to say about those findings.

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>. Reached by email this month, representatives from the RIAA said they had no access to data that would point to the label’s actual impact on sales nor its success rate at actually keeping objectionable material out of the hands of youths. But the program is still very much in effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The kicker, of course, is the Internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Each individual track that has potentially objectionable content is labeled 'explicit,' which stays with the track even after point of purchase [online],\" former RIAA president \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2010/10/29/130905176/you-ask-we-answer-parental-advisory---why-when-how\" target=\"_blank\">Cary Sherman told NPR in 2010\u003c/a>, explaining the program's digital adaptation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But ask any teenager how easy that is to ignore and, well, they'll probably tell you they've never noticed it. In retrospect, the PMRC hearings represented the last time it even seemed \u003cem>plausible\u003c/em> that adults or those in a position of power could control what young people consumed, for better or for or worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When \u003cem>Rolling Stone\u003c/em> checked in with Tipper Gore last week to see how her thoughts had evovled, \u003ca href=\"http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/tipper-gore-reflects-on-pmrc-30-years-later-20150914\" target=\"_blank\">she had the following to say\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In this era of social media and online access, it seems quaint to think that parents can have control over what their children see and hear. But I think this conversation between parents and kids is as relevant today as it was back in the '80s. Music is a universal language that crosses generations, race, religion, sex and more. Never has there been more need for communication and understanding on these issues as there is today...All of the artists and record companies who still use the advisory label should be applauded for helping parents and kids have these conversations about lyrics around their own values.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18122\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/ef20578ec11e627ebfd9b4e192ab3809.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-18122\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/ef20578ec11e627ebfd9b4e192ab3809-400x258.jpg\" alt=\"Rage Against the Machine at Lollapalooza in 1993.\" width=\"400\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/ef20578ec11e627ebfd9b4e192ab3809-400x258.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/ef20578ec11e627ebfd9b4e192ab3809.jpg 425w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rage Against the Machine at Lollapalooza in 1993.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>She did not, unfortunately, comment on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.feelnumb.com/2012/07/03/metallica-master-of-puppets-vulgar-warning-sticker/\" target=\"_blank\">slew\u003c/a> of \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_P.M.R.C._Can_Suck_on_This\" target=\"_blank\">imaginative\u003c/a> art and performance inspired by the PMRC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Otherwise: Fair 'nuff, Tipper.

It's the very silly-seeming beginning of a very serious and slippery slope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So happy birthday, PAL. We'd like to think we learned something from you.

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>\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>. Reached by email this month, representatives from the RIAA said they had no access to data that would point to the label’s actual impact on sales nor its success rate at actually keeping objectionable material out of the hands of youths. But the program is still very much in effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The kicker, of course, is the Internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Each individual track that has potentially objectionable content is labeled 'explicit,' which stays with the track even after point of purchase [online],\" former RIAA president \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2010/10/29/130905176/you-ask-we-answer-parental-advisory---why-when-how\" target=\"_blank\">Cary Sherman told NPR in 2010\u003c/a>, explaining the program's digital adaptation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But ask any teenager how easy that is to ignore and, well, they'll probably tell you they've never noticed it. In retrospect, the PMRC hearings represented the last time it even seemed \u003cem>plausible\u003c/em> that adults or those in a position of power could control what young people consumed, for better or for or worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When \u003cem>Rolling Stone\u003c/em> checked in with Tipper Gore last week to see how her thoughts had evovled, \u003ca href=\"http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/tipper-gore-reflects-on-pmrc-30-years-later-20150914\" target=\"_blank\">she had the following to say\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In this era of social media and online access, it seems quaint to think that parents can have control over what their children see and hear. But I think this conversation between parents and kids is as relevant today as it was back in the '80s. Music is a universal language that crosses generations, race, religion, sex and more. Never has there been more need for communication and understanding on these issues as there is today...All of the artists and record companies who still use the advisory label should be applauded for helping parents and kids have these conversations about lyrics around their own values.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18122\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/ef20578ec11e627ebfd9b4e192ab3809.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-18122\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/ef20578ec11e627ebfd9b4e192ab3809-400x258.jpg\" alt=\"Rage Against the Machine at Lollapalooza in 1993.\" width=\"400\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/ef20578ec11e627ebfd9b4e192ab3809-400x258.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/09/ef20578ec11e627ebfd9b4e192ab3809.jpg 425w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rage Against the Machine at Lollapalooza in 1993.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>She did not, unfortunately, comment on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.feelnumb.com/2012/07/03/metallica-master-of-puppets-vulgar-warning-sticker/\" target=\"_blank\">slew\u003c/a> of \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_P.M.R.C._Can_Suck_on_This\" target=\"_blank\">imaginative\u003c/a> art and performance inspired by the PMRC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Otherwise: Fair 'nuff, Tipper.

It's the very silly-seeming beginning of a very serious and slippery slope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So happy birthday, PAL. We'd like to think we learned something from you.

There's smart new stuff all the time, and newer always means better, right? Today I received an email press release whose subject line read \"This Companionable Robot is Equipped With Telepresence Arms.\" I don't know what that means and I didn't bother to click to find out, but that's beside the point. Whether it's a \u003cem>groundbreaking \u003c/em>new stylus for your iPad (I refuse to call it a pencil) or fascinating \u003ca href=\"http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/02/25/biological-same-sex-parent-babies-could-be-a-reality-by-2017.html\" target=\"_blank\">breakthroughs in medical technology\u003c/a>, the sense that tech is speeding up exponentially is hard to shake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Except\u003c/em>. Except that some people really like old technology. \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/business/6538585/us-vinyl-album-sales-up-by-53-in-q1\" target=\"_blank\">Vinyl album sales have grown by 260 percent since 2009 in the U.S.\u003c/a>, and the resurgence show no signs of slowing; last year, Americans bought some 9.2 million records, up from 6.1 million in 2013. The next generation of typewriter enthusiasts (without whom these \u003ca href=\"http://www.wired.com/2010/05/gallery-typewriters/\" target=\"_blank\">very stable typewriter repair shops\u003c/a> would be dying) is well-documented. Nostalgia is a powerful drug, and its role in the marketplace is not to be dismissed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So where do cassette tapes figure into all of this? If you're an aesthete, they're maybe less immediately sexy than vinyl, but they have their strong points: They're durable as hell, as Jennifer Maerz pointed out in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2015/08/17/loves-mixtapes-lost-the-high-school-cassettes-we-cant-throw-away/\" target=\"_blank\">this sweet piece about rediscovering her high school boyfriends' gifted mixtapes\u003c/a> via a guy she'd sold her car to a decade ago. American Public Radio's \u003cem>Marketplace\u003c/em> pointed to \u003ca href=\"http://www.marketplace.org/topics/business/music-industrys-cassette-comeback\" target=\"_blank\">the tangibility factor in this piece\u003c/a> on labels like Burger Records issuing new music on tapes, as well as gimmicky one-offs from Metallica, movie tie-ins like the \u003cem>Guardians of the Galaxy\u003c/em> soundtrack, and the so-quirky-it-hurts \u003ca href=\"http://cassettestoreday.us/\" target=\"_blank\">Cassette Store Day\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long story short, people are still buying 'em -- which means someone's gotta make 'em. Bloomberg Business paid a visit to one of those few remaining someones, by way of touring the National Audio Company in Springfield, Missouri. NAC reports that sales are up 20 percent from last year -- when they sold more than 10 million tapes. Check out their tour below.\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/CMTpvr9HXeI'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/CMTpvr9HXeI'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
