Enough Is Enough
Some stations dropped “ONE TOKE OVER THE LINE” by Brewer & Shipley, they said it was a pro drug song. We’ve just been told by three stations that LOU CHRISTIE’s new single ‘WACO” will not be played on their station because it has the word BROWNIE in it (that’s brownie as in fudge chocolate cake). They say that brownie is an upper pill. We never heard that expression, neither did Lou Christie or Tony Romeo (the writer) … Tony wrote such “drug oriented” songs as The Partridge Family’s “I THINK I LOVE YOU”, Lou Christie’s song “I’M GONNA MAKE YOU MINE”, Cowsill’s “INDIAN LAKE”, Brooklyn Bridge, ‘BLESSED IS THE RAIN”
For the sake of creativity – freedom of thought and just good old music – let’s start listening to music as music and not as censors
Isn’t enough enough already???
