I thought this was a really cool story. Dee Snider is alright in my book. I'd no idea he was a DJ now. Personally, I'd like to see him do more acting worK!!!
I'm sure someone will find at least on lame joke in the fact that his biggest concert was at a high school, but regardless: I think what Mr. Snider did was very, very cool. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders - never would have thunk that. I'm sure it didnt hurt is radio show either. :)
DEE SNIDER PERFORMS AT HIGH SCHOOL AFTER PROTEST
TWISTED SISTER star DEE SNIDER put on a special performance at a Pennsylvania high school after fighting to block their ban on rock band performances.
Snider agreed to go to the Hamburg Area High School talent show in rural eastern Pennsylvania after he heard administrators planned to bar student rock bands from performing, fearing injuries from slam dancing.
Snider, now a DJ on Philadelphia rock station WMMR-FM, ranted on the air about the controversy, and a school senior got more than 200 students to sign a petition against the amplified musicban. School officials eventually changed their minds.
Snider - who agreed "a high school auditorium is no place for moshing" - helped arrange for a security company to work the Thursday night (21APR05) show.
Snider danced around the stage with about 20 students, while performing his 1984 hit WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT.
He says, "Whether they go on to be musicians or not, they have learned a lesson, a lesson about growing up in a small town, and that big things can come out of quiet, out-of-the way areas."
