Mary Elizabeth Aitcheson Gore (born August 19, 1948), known as Tipper Gore, is the wife of former Vice President Al Gore and a former moral crusader. In 1985, she co-founded the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) with Susan Baker, because Tipper heard her then 11-year-old daughter playing "Darling Nikki" by Prince. According to an article by NPR, Gore went "before Congress to urge warning labels for records marketed to children." A number of individuals including John Denver, and Frank Zappa criticized the group, claiming that this was a form of censorship. Gore argued against the censorship claim by stating that "I'm a strong believer in the First Amendment." Gore resigned from the group in 1992 when she became Second Lady of the United States.
