Opinion | 35 years ago today, the Senate held hearings on rock lyrics. It was a First Amendment showdown for the ages. By anthonyLfisher

Denver was an openly devout Christian, the kind of person who fit the profile of someone who'd be outraged by rock lyrics poisoning the minds of the youth.

"What assurance have I that any national panel to review my music would make any better judgment?" Denver asked the senators. Zappa brought two of his kids, Moon Unit and Dweezil — both preteen Twisted Sister fans — to DC for the hearing. Snider brought his father, a cop and veteran. Of the violence in the "We're Not Gonna Take It" video that had scandalized senators, Snider said that it was comical, and directly inspired by Roadrunner–Wile E. Coyote cartoons.

"This was the Reagan years. Conservatives were reigning, and Al Gore was very much a conservative Dem," Snider said. "He changed his cloak when he started with [Bill] Clinton, and suddenly he was Mister Hipster."
