1.0 out of 5 stars Just what you'd expect from the leader of the PMRC., December 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Raising PG Kids in an X Rated Society (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is, in a word, ludicrous. Attacking everything from Dungeons and Dragons to the "vile music of our society", good old Tipper manages to paint a picture of misinformation in the guise of "preserving family values". Avoid at ALL costs.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't understand that music is ENTERTAINMENT, November 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Raising PG Kids in an X Rated Society (Mass Market Paperback)

This is just an over protective mom with no creditials writing what she feels. It goes to link a man falling off bleachers and dying to violent lyrics in music? Sorry lady, people slip and fall sometimes. She continually condemns bands such as Def Leppard and Motely Crue for all of societal evils. The books seems to make the assumption that violence would not even exist if rock and roll were not around. This book is only good for research purposes to prove how wrong it is.

1.0 out of 5 stars I Pitty All Of The "Concerned Parents" Who Have Read This, August 10, 2000

This review is from: Raising PG Kids in an X Rated Society (Mass Market Paperback)

First of all, I cackle at the reader who gave this five stars and heralded Tipper Gore as a "brave woman" who wrote this book as an "act of love towards today's youth". Tipper Gore went to a Greateful Dead concert and hung out photo-op style with Jerry Garcia while drug agents busted many people for acid at the same concert. Hillary Rodham Clinton called this book "good information" for parents. In the back of the book there is a plug for the Back In Control Center in LA. Back In Control advocate that black clothing and high top tennis shoes are signs of devil worship. Other signs of devil worship included the peace sign and the JEWISH STAR OF DAVID. Tipper called Back In Control "a family center...who helps people who are deeply involved with punk rock and heavy metal." This is a book of ignorance which brainwashes parents into thinking that music that makes any kind of political statement is a sign of devil worship and should certainly be avoided. As an advocate for the Censorship Movement, this book is a fine piece of anti-intellectualism and anti-individualism which promotes not thinking about anything...at all. After all, happiness IS the enemy of thought.
