By her teen years, she would meet the man that would make her a politician's wife, and a second lady of the U.S. She attended a parochial private school and played a variety of sports. Shortly after she met a guy named Albert Gore Jr. at a high school dance and the two became inseparable (via Clinton White House archives). The two of them decided to attend college in Massachusetts; Tipper went to Boston University, and Al went to Harvard. They got married on May 19, 1970, the same year Tipper completed her studies there. They would have four children together: Karenna, Kristen, Albert III, and Sarah Gore. In raising those children, Tipper found herself with a growing interest in the content of music in the '80s era. Her concerns would send her to a movement that she became famous for leading.
But before she was the wife of a vice president, Tipper Gore was the wife of a Tennessee senator. Al Gore was a senator for the southern state from 1985 to 1993, per the House archive site. The same year Gore started office as senator, his wife was a member of a group that she co-founded called Parents Music Resource Center (or PMRC). The group was composed of wives of men who were in Washington D.C. politics or business. The goal of the PMRC was to bring to light the explicit lyrics in music to concerned parents. The end result were the parental advisory warnings eventually applied to music content (via Newsweek).
