Local Diaspora

The Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) was founded by Tipper Gore, wife of Senator and later Vice President Al Gore; Susan Baker, wife of Treasury Secretary James Baker; Pam Howar, wife of Washington realtor Raymond Howar; and Sally Nevius, wife of former Washington City Council Chairman John Nevius.  On September 19,  1985 members of PMRC, known as the "Washington Wives" attended a Senate hearing. During the hearing Frank Zappa. Dee Snider  and John Denver  testified against the Recording Industry Association of America's decision to place a “Parental Advisory” sticker on album.
