During the repressive Reagan Administration, politicians tried to crack down on music they dubbed as &quot;porn rock&quot; aka heavy metal, that they deemed to be offensive to children. Dee Snider of Twisted Sister and other musicians went to speak with Congress in a battle against music censorship with the intent of destigmatizing rock music. We go through all of this and more on today&#39;s episode.
