Somebody has to set an example. N in now you gel three months of a a a away Voyt a . We Bare to Hare them around All year Long. Yours truly septic thu be hired and paid. As a Christian and i am not ashamed to admit it and a music Lover i be had it with pollution of the airwaves by twisted acts such As twisted sister horrible performances by horrible acts like Ozzy Osbourne and masked recordings. An example is the Over exposed garbage known As stairway to heaven by led Zeppelin which is full of words which have two meanings inspired by a guitarist who was fascinated with Black magic. Then there Are respectable songs by such to Zimak ers As or. Hook Charlie Rich and Marvin Gaye which condone to sultry and immoral does t need to listen to recordings played in reverse or study the Lyric sheets to find out where the artists Are coming from. Some record jackets depict violence upside Down crosses pentagrams occult symbols and even titles which Are obviously occult or sexually or violently oriented. When Beach boy Mike love a draft dodger and a survivor of three decades of Rock v Roll says that music has Degener ated to a Point that records should be rated then 1 say things have gone Loofah. As for this writer s parents musical tastes just because they listen to music which promotes immorality docs in mean that our children should be subjected to music which condones things which arc wrong for their Sake let s clean up the airwaves so Hal we can All enjoy the inter National language of music without the need of censorship. Petty officer 1.c, Patrick junes Mckenna self Onella Sicily i am a 24-year-old, and i Hilve u few things Loicl off my mind. I listen to your i m very familiar with groups such As ., o?7y Osboorne. Motley Cruc and quite a few other group ranging from contemporary Rock to heavy Metal Rock i m not a Parent nor am i criticizing your listening to your music. Not All of the songs by to lice aforementioned groups arc bad to listen to. Just some. However Why Don t you think a. Bit also listen to the lyrics of some songs by these groups you Revere so much. Lyrics that advocate the use of violence or the abuse of people drugs and alcohol. Lyrics that suggest it s of to be Blind drunk or so High that one is not aware or it makes no difference what happens to self or others. How can you actually favor groups or a group of musicians who in n t even handle themselves i m taking your suggestion to think be fore 1 say anything and i be thought for a Long time. I realize that All facets of the music Industry Are not innocent and should share some of the responsibility and blame. That s right music from jazz to soul to country to Rock n Roll everything can be potentially bad for people of All Ages let me ask you this How would you feel if something bad happened either to yourself someone in your family a Friend or a relative thai was caused by some fruit who enjoys the same music you do just because its been repeated Lime and time again by listening to the music that there is nothing wrong in what he or she was doing did or Wannu to do but you say Hoy the Crue or Would t steer me wrong baloney Bucko Why not read about your favorite groups a Singer is. Read what happens in their personal lives or at their concerts if these musicians can t even control themselves what makes you think that they have words or lyrics of Wisdom to live by however if you like it go for it. I m not trying to Slop you. You judge for yourself. Before i sign off. Here s a few words for you my Friend Why Don t you walk u mile in someone else s shoes before you criticize or judge them Anthony e. Green guile Skirchen Germany the recent Leller from a teen Ager standing up for his her right to commit musical suicide without adult censorship has caused me to sit Down and take pen in hand. I fed that people at radio stations have an obligation to do More than Cater to the immature tastes of immature people. Most of the Rock music addicts would t know a sonata from a cantata a cello from a marshmallow or a prelude from an elude. The greatest service Hal these stations could perform would be to educate those people to play not a lat they want bul what is Good for them such As orchestral and piano concerts and classical music. This May sound like big brother but Strong Medicine is often needed. Of course they would scream and stomp but if you eliminated Rock completely and forced them to go cold Turkey in the end when they were cured they would thank you Roek like smoking is an addiction and both need Strong measures. Yours for a Happy and melodious new year. Susan Merrill Delzell Germany shrine hospitals Don t charge in & recent Issue of the stars and stripes you ran a poignant Story about afghan Chil Dren who were receiving artificial limbs in the. United states you noted that we was being used to assist these children several of whom Are being treated at the shrines Burn Institute in Boston. That May have Given some readers the impression that j12.000 was needed to defray the costs of medical treatment provided by the shrine we of the european shrine club would like to assure your readers that the charge levied against every child treated in one of our shrine hospitals or Burn centers is the same absolutely nothing there Are however major costs involved in locating and transporting these children to our hospitals and that probably accounts for the in 2,000 you mentioned. In order to help children in Europe who May need the specialized care Only our shrine hospitals can provide the european shrine club is working actively to provide funds to transport them to the Hospital and our Amsterdam Oasis which serves As our coordinator for crippled children has already helped several children from Greece and Italy get to our hospitals. But because of the specialized equipment needed for these children transportation to the United states is very very expensive. For that reason we look to caring people everywhere to help us pay those costs and to identify children who need our help and who want to help us make the world a Little less painful for children. If any of your readers know of a child who might need our assistance they need Only Contact any Shriner anywhere or me and Well take care of the rest. David c.
