Politics And Mix?
By PHILIP WERDELL
Moderator Magazine
NEW YORK — (NEA) — A
months ago a violent poli
debate came to a head
the prophet of doom met
he proclaimer of the new world.
The confrontation was not on
university debating platform,
television news special or even
Senate floor. The audience
all of teenage America and
forum was every major pop
station in the nation.
Day after day, time after time,
airways carried the battle
“The Eve of Destruc
and “The Dawn of Re
For decades, the cocktail par
rule, "Don’t talk about per
income, religion or poli
had been rigidly suppor
by the mass media chatter
But suddenly contro-
versy was legitimate, and pop
music will never again be the
same. The new themes of social
and political criticism make the
Kingston Trio and Peter, Paul
and Mary seem ridiculously su
gar-coated.
Now the liberal chants that
he’s liberal but he “wouldn’t let
his daughter marry Barry Gold
water.” The conservative sings
back that "I spy for the FBI”
("Just because you have your
shade down low, I know when
you’re up. I know when you're
down. I know when you’re in”.
Armchair analysis of pop
music used to look for the sexual
connotation. Now they must al
so hunt for the political mean
ings.
The trend is not without cause.
This has been a year in which
a new student dance fad goes
almost unnoticed (except by the
adult discotheque crowd). On
the other hand, thousands of stu
dents are marching In peace de
monstrations, collecting blood
for the soldiers in Viet Nam
and circulating petition after pe
tition for and against President
Johnson’s policy.
The most conservative stu
dent organization, Young Amer
icans for Freedom, has grown
from 5,000 to 25,000 members in
three years, and a substantial
proportion of the new chapters
are being organized in high
schools.
Political activity on the left
has also begun to convert high
school students.
No wonder pop music Is turn
ing political.
Bob Dylan remains the lea
der of political pop. For several
years, Dylan songs and sounds
attracted devoted cults on col
lege campuses. Then, without
warning, he exchanged his blues
guitar and harmonica for an el
ectronic amplifier and rock ’n’
roll band. Old fans mourned the
death of the "authentic” Dylan,
but millions of new listeners
praised the birth of "folk rock.”

The new pop sound might bet
ter be called Dylan rock, for
there is litle resemblance to the
popular folk music of the late
’50s. The Kingston Trio’s ballad
of “Tom Dooley” is In the 19th
century compared to Dylan’s
“Subterranean Homesick Blues.”
Belfonte sang of his love for lit
tle "Mary Ann” (wh 0 was
‘down by the seashore sifting
sand”), but Dylan preaches
"Love Minus Zero-No Limit.”
While the Kingston Trio rode
the "MTA” and looked with self
pity at its "Scotch and Soda,”
Dylan shoots pool with some of
the folks and wonders if he can
find a picket sign to Join a de
monstration.
Even more revolutionary than
Dylan and his dozen or so
come-lately imitators is a new
trend of behavior In the pop
music industry itself. Language
expert S. I. Hayakawa wrote,
"The words of popular songs are
largely (but not altogether) the
product of white song writers
for predominantly white audien
ces.”
Every big city had a Negro
radio station with a Negro audi
ence — and several white sta
tions with white audiences. All
this ended with the Motown
sound (Motor Town, for Detroit).

sound is Gordy Parks, a $35-a-

week garage mechanic living
in a Negro area of Detroit. Then
he discovered the Supremes and
he was on his way.
The beauty of the Motown
sound is that it begins to capture
a bit of the traditional Negro
blues which pop music sterilized
when it first diluted jazz for
the mass audience. The Supre
mes call their music "blues with
a pop beat.”
It is not the original blues of
Southern cotton fields nor even
authentic jazz blues, but there
is an element of the spirituals of
the Negro church services. Ap
propriately, the youthful audien
ces find that the Motown sound
has “soul”.
The Supremes began singing
in their church choir, and their
all-time best seller, “Stop in the
Name of Love,” still has the ex
citing flavor of an easy musical
exchange between a minister
and his congregation.
It is probably more than coin
cidence that Gordy Parks and
the Motown sound arrived just
after the passage of the 1965 Ci
vil Rights Act. There are still Ne
gro radio stations. There are
still what must be called white
radio stations. The Motown
is a sometimes unhappy
blend of the two, and an inte
grated pop musical group is still
a rarity.
