1985: A bunch of busybodies and killjoys get together in a Washington DC church basement and decide to call themselves the Parent's Music Resource Center. Wanting to be an all-powerful, we-answer-to-no-one watchdog group and an actual arm of the federal government, with the power to censor and even criminalize any music that got their noses out of joint, their entire legacy has been reduced to those little black & white "Parental Advisory" stickers you occasionally see on 40-year-old CDs, warning that there might be awful, awful bad words on them.
