EXPLICIT LYRICS: When Tipper Gore Went After Prince. When Tipper was at this stuff, I wrote a very critical letter to the editor that was published in the Nashville Tennessean. To my surprise, I got back a multipage handwritten letter from Tipper, going on about how toddlers were being exposed to Twisted Sister via Care Bears with built-in cassette players. From this I concluded that, dumb as this program was, she was entirely sincere about it.
