My very first cassette tape was Twisted Sister and I still have it laying around somewhere. Got it in 3rd grade I believe. Mom wholly regretted it.

Dee Snider is as solid of a person as can be. Intelligent, articulate, big heart and all around great guy. Him, Zappa and Denver OWNED the congressional PMRC. They wanted Vince Neil to testify because they knew they could bully him and get bad responses. Instead, they got Dee - whom promptly handed them their asses on a platter.

Why oh why would anyone ever call in Zappa as "controlled" opposition? That's just asking for a severe mental beatdown for the ages. Al & Tippers' butts are still sore.
