"While video nasties served as folk devils in the UK, in the US Ronald Reagan’s emphasis on 'family values' had empowered the religious right: with the surging popularity of MTV, the music video channel, musicians were now drawing increasing ire from Christian organisations."

‘I was called an enemy of the people’: how the US Senate went to war with the biggest rock stars of the 1980s

Forty years ago Prince, Madonna and Judas Priest were among stars dubbed the ‘Filthy Fifteen’ in a high-profile parents’ campaign against ‘objectionable’ music. Some of those artists, and supporters like Alice Cooper, recall a major moral panic

me, a non-religious person (closes eyes): I am praying for Dolly Parton. I would like to put in a prayer for Dolly Parton. Make that lots of prayers. I would like infinity prayers for Dolly Parton. Give Dolly Parton unlimited prayers. All the prayers that have ever existed should go to Dolly Parton.

Full story on Tillis’ odd quote on Charlotte not needing national guard.

“Tillis … also specifically criticized the idea that Charlotte is unsafe.
‘I reject any notion that Charlotte is on that list, by the way,’ Tillis said.

‘So whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, bring it on.’ “
