The Rock 'n' Roll Rewind - Episode 10 - The Forgotten Legacy of Hazel Scott and Dee Snider v. Congress

Radiokeys' songsters Emily and Stewart get together in their Concord home to tell stories regarding some historical instances of "the man" attempting to suppress musical expression and freedom of speech.

Emily kicks it off with the often neglected tale of Hazel Scott. A luminary black, female pianist in her prime at the height of the swing era who dwarfed her peers. Why don't we hear about her? Why isn't her name mentioned alongside the greats?

Stewart then talks about the PMRC and their influence over Congress to add Parental Advisory stickers to records as well as their attempt to censor the biggest musical acts of the day. Dee Snider of Twisted Sister was having none of it. Stewart tells the story of how congress underestimated the Hair Metal megastar and how he made them look foolish.
