Adam West was born on this day in 1928. Today in 1985, a U.S. Senate committee heard testimony on the labeling and rating of music with explicit lyrics. It was initiated by the Parents Music Resource Center, led by Al Gore's wife Tipper Gore. The PMRC had made a list of the most objectionable songs. Their "Filthy Fifteen" included Prince's "Darling Nikki", Sheena Easton's "Sugar Walls", Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It", and Cyndi Lauper's "She Bop".
