     This happens about every 5 years or so. I don't know what it is: it
seems, though, that a bunch of narrow minded conservative types discover
that there are other radio stations than those which program Bonneville
beautiful music.  This happens when Wally gets in Ward's car and plays
with the buttons. Then, they hear something offensive, start listening to
the junk that these kids play at home, and all hell breaks loose.

     We've been through this before and nothing came of it ( for example,
WKTU refusing to play 'Soft and Wet' or 'Hard Going In-Soft Coming Out.'
THERE IS NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER (unless your local Bible-toting uh, non
commercial FM station is to be beleived) that listening to tripe like
Darling Nikki results in children who are more self indulgent than any
other children. 

     Those blasted PMCC (Parent's Music Censorship Committee) twitheads
aren't whining and complaining about country music: Do children who are
raised on Merle Haggard and Alabama end up driving trucks, being drunk,
or cheat on their wives more frequently than children who are raised on
hymns and Beethoven>?????????


     I am sick and ****damn tired of this crap.  While I am at it, let
me flame further... I am sick and tired of PAID RELIGIOUS BROADCASTING
being conducted in the EDUCATIONAL part of the FM band. It seems that 
common religious broadcasters can have an assignment wherever their little
feeble minded brains desire: in the educational band (88.1 to 91.9 mHz)
or the commercial band (92.1 to 107.9 mHz). We have both kinds in the
State of North Carolina; for example, WHPE (95.5 mHz) and another station
on the same network (Bible Broadcasting Network) under the same licensee
on 89.5 mHz.  C'mon people, isn't this called chain broadcasting or 
something? I know that the rules say that the licensee in the educational
part of the band must be accredited by some authority but judging by the
solicitations by various paid religious broadcasters, I'd say what they
are doing is something no one else can do: run an advertising racket 
in both parts of the FM band.

     Talk about SPINELESS??? When is the Fourth Branch of Government, the
FCC, going to grant the Fifth Estate the same privileges that ordinary
newspapers and fishwrappers are allowed: first amenedment, etc. When are
these parents and religious broadcasters who gang up on rock and roll
musicians going to turn their attention to program length commercials like
'Dynasty' for the sleazo-materialstic lifestyle? 

    The Senate is holding a hearing on the subject of rock music lyrics
(here we go again...the Ghost of Alan Freed lives on) in mid-September.
FLOOD YOUR CONGRESSMEN WITH MAIL. PLEASE!!!!!  Things are no worse than
when these ladies were discovering their sexuality 11 years ago listening
to Donna Scummer touching her self ('Love to Love you Baby'). 


AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH ! ! ! ! ! ! 

     I feel MUCH better now. As for the distinction between educational
and commercial broadcasters, the paid religious ones are definitely commercial,
and the FCC should kick those little ******ards out of the 88.1 - 91.9 mHz
spectrum space !


Here's to a Free Fifth Estate
