Twisted Sister is one of those bands that both intrigued me and kind of scared me as a child. Every time I heard their hit song "We're Not Gonna Take It" I couldn't help but get up and dance and belt out the powerful lyrics. But, when I saw their music videos I could not understand why these men were rocking bigger hair and better lipstick than any of the women I knew. I was a "good Christian" girl and I just didn't get it. Years later, I fell in love with this band after hearing front man Dee Snider on The Howard Stern show in the late '90s. Dee was so charming and so bad ass during his chat with Howard that I had to go back and give the band a listen. I not only fell in love with their music, but I finally understood the history and significance behind their no bullshit cross dressing persona. They are one of those bands that did something different and interesting. So interesting, that documentary film maker Andrew Horn decided to make a movie about the band.
