What's Wrong with Today's Music? - Eugene M Walter - November 1965

Eugene M Walter

Does music have a purpose? How does one recognize good music? Here's the truth about rock'n' roll, "Oh, baby, pleeeeeeese be friendly," pleads the whining, effeminate voice of the radio singer, "I don't wanna let'cha go." A flick of the dial and a female vocalist is heard. She has a raucous voice with a hard-bitten twang and is accompanied by a loud, confused din that sounds like bad static. "H-E-L-P!" she bellows in a husky voice, "I need your "H-E-E-E-L-P!" Another flick of the dial and - "Oh, I'm agonna LOOOOZZE MYYYYYY M-I-N-D" wails a voice to the beat of a nerve-wracking pandemonium that seems designed to drive the listener insane, too. This is a sample of today's music! Something is terribly WRONG with it! Yet millions the world over listen to it by the hour! Why? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
