| The queen of clean on the scene! |
Mary Whitehouse may not be as well known in the US as she was in the UK but she led a decades long campaign against indecency (also see our sister
blog). Her musical targets included
The Beatles (the Boxing Day film
Magical Mystery Tour was slated and did have an X certificate scene snuck in),
Chuck Berry ("My Dingaling"),
Pink Floyd [I possibly heard of missus in "Pigs (Three Different Ones)"],
Jimi Hendrix,
The Doors and
Alice Cooper to name a few. PMRC (30th Anniversary this year) may have been indirectly influenced by her. Whitehouse would be appalled by hip-hop, EDM perhaps, death metal,
Miley Cyrus and other current trends today. Whitehouse and Sir
Cliff Richard co-founded the Nationwide Festival of Light back in the late '60s. Sometimes it's a good thing she's not around anymore to have to see what's going on right now.
