Title

Rock Out Censorship*

Description

ROCK OUT CENSORSHIP has been aggressively opposing the censors of popular music since 1989. Rock Out Censorship was founded to act as a voice of music fans against the army of religious oppressors (and Senator's wives) trying to censor the music industry at the time and even moreso today. The organization was formed as a result of the music industry's total capitulation to the whims of Tipper Gore's Parent's Music Resource Center (PMRC) in regards to the placement of warning labels on albums. R.O.C.'s position has always been that these stickers do very little to warn parents, but do a lot to open the door to more restrictive forms of censorship. As we predicted back in 1989, much of the legislation we are seeing introduced around the United States today is a direct result of the music industry's refusal to stand up and fight the sticker issue.

It was then that our organization started distributing "THE ROC"--the Voice of Rock Out Censorship newspaper to interested music fans throughout the Ohio and Western Pennsylvania area to keep them informed about the dangerous incidents of censorship that were occuring across the country, while at the same time entertaining them with band interviews and album reviews, etc. This newspaper, while focusing on the music industry, also covers the entire spectrum of censorship activity from comic book censorship, censorship of the adult entertainment industry, school censorship, and more. It is THE ROC newspaper that has become the backbone of our organization, providing much needed anti-censorship information to thousands of music fans across the country.

Also, the founders of Rock Out Censorship would always make a point to attend any of the functions of the would-be censors in their area to provide a strong voice in opposition to their ideas and tactics, something we still do today as much as possible. Our mix of "in their face" reporting, and entertainment oriented articles in "THE ROC" has proven to be quite a successful formula as Rock Out Censorship has done nothing but grow since these early days.
