The July issue of Reason magazine reports that Dee Snider & his colleagues in Twisted Sister have endorsed Al Gore for president, mainly because of Al's alleged concern for the environment. Back in 1985, Snider was hauled before Gore's Senate Commerce Committee during TIpper's great campaign to clean up rock lyrics. While Frank Zappa loudly denouced the Gore's decency campaign, Zappa's widow Gail has given Clinton and Gore hundreds of thousands of dollars since 1995, and Zappas kids, Moon, Diva, Dweezil, and Ahmet, have also given money to Gore & other Dems. Diva asked Tipper to sit in on drums during a performance last December.
