BILLBOARD — The 10,000 assorted bills and resolutions already launched in the 91st Congress show that many legislators have a keen concern —for better or worse—with the young, with their music, their movie and TV fare, their votes and their draft status.

Rep. John D. Dingell (D., Mich.) has again introduced his bill to require printed copies of words to all recorded music “or other verbal material” moving in interstate commerce. Representative Dingell is worried about what kind of words or other sounds are reaching the young who apparently understand all of it—while their elders are missing the gamey aspects of the lyrics and symbolism obscured by the multi-level sounds in the new music.

The bill (H.R. 6205) is a duplicate of one Representative Dingell introduced last year in the wake of a music censorship campaign by the McClendon stations. The McClendon outlets played only songs with printed lyrics, so the deejay would know just what was going out over the air.
