Episode 687 - Tipper Gore's "Filthy Fifteen" Worst To First Part 2 w/The ATTT All-Stars
Is this an appropriate time to talk about censorship? How about freedom of speech? How about the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States Of America? We didn't plan it this way but history is rhyming in a big way right now, so we're actually glad to be taking a narrow-eyed look back at the past. 40 years ago this month Washington was abuzz with pending legislation to make laws determining some music obscene and ripe for censorship. Tipper Gore and her Parents Music Resource Center had the government all up in your business in 1985, and thankfully three REAL free speech warriors - Twisted Sister's Dee Snider, Frank Zappa and the unlikeliest of heroes, our man John Denver told Congress TO THEIR FACES to back off. Tipper's crusade against arbitrarily-deemed "filth" yielded ATTT a project. The so-called "Filthy Fifteen" is a list that's ripe for review, and the ATTT All-Stars are more than up for the task of ranking these songs using our patent-pending Worst To First format. Picks 7-1 are featured here in Part 2. If you missed Part 1 and the, uh, "worst" part of the list in picks 15-8, listen up here:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-686-tipper-gores-filthy-fifteen-worst-to-first/id573735994?i=1000726746433LIsten up and listen well to the official Tipper Gore's "Filthy Fifteen" Worst To First playlist, featuring all (available) songs heard in Parts 1 & 2:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3dcC3hNJMhA4U5DQheUPws?si=dcca6c2e382843bdIf you haven't watched them, do yourself a favor and check out Frank, Dee and John's testimony from 1985:Frank - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgAF8Vu8G0w&t=126sDee - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0Vyr1TylTEJohn - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH0hYabzudkOur All-Stars are always up to stuff.

Episode 686 - Tipper Gore's "Filthy Fifteen" Worst To First Part 1 w/The ATTT All-Stars
40 years ago this week our nation was under assault by forces of evil. These forces were conspiring to control artists and take away Americans' constitutionally-guaranteed rights to freedom of expression. In the halls of the United States Senate, three righteous warriors - Frank Zappa, Dee Snider and John Denver - stood up for artists and free speech by directly confronting the evil in power. The evil in power were the so-called "Washington Wives" - spouses to powerful Senators that were weighing a bipartisan violation of the first amendment to the constitution. The head of this clan otherwise known as the PMRC, or the Parents Music Resource Center, was the dreaded Tipper Gore. In the name of "protecting children" Tipper and her friends aimed for censorship. In the process, they gave us a weird but fascinating playlist they dubbed "The Filthy Fifteen" - fifteen songs they deemed to be obscene. This playlist is worth another look, and ATTT has decided to enlist our friends the ATTT All-Stars to give it our patented Worst To First treatment. Shannon Hurley, Gabe Scalone, Joe Lavelle, Matt Dinan and David Daskal were on hand to rank these songs and wax poetic about what a fucked up time the Reagan years were. Picks 15-8 are featured here in Part 1.If you haven't watched them, do yourself a favor and check out Frank, Dee and John's testimony from 1985:Frank - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgAF8Vu8G0w&t=126sDee - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0Vyr1TylTE John - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH0hYabzudkOur All-Stars are always up to stuff.

Episode 684 - Top Ten "Separate The Art" Artists Part 1 w/Chris Van Gompel, DJ Hostettler & Dixie Jacobs
Can we actually separate the art from the artist? Well, if you're willing to contort yourself around some pretty terrible behavior, the art you are separating from the artists involved better be worth it. Only the best of the best can get away with being the worst of the worst and have us still wanting to enjoy their art. From bleak to dark, this list and the stories involved might make the squeamish squeam - fair warning! Who else to help us navigate these treacherous waters than our old dear friends from Milwaukee, Chris Van Gompel, DJ Hostettler and Dixie Jacobs. Here in Top Ten "Separate The Art" Artists Part 1, we discuss Picks 10-6 of this problematic cast of characters, but we also get to rock out with some of their amazing creations.These guys are always busy with the rocking out and such.
