On this day, November 21, 1985, Frank Zappa released his 44th album, Frank Zappa Meets the Mothers of Prevention. Known for its sharp satire and political commentary, the album was Zappa’s response to the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) and their push for music censorship, which led to the infamous “Parental Advisory” labels.

Blending experimental rock and spoken-word elements, the album reached #153 on the Billboard charts and featured tracks like “Porn Wars,” which included audio from the PMRC Senate hearings. The album remains a bold statement against censorship and a testament to Zappa’s unrelenting creative vision.
