The
Safe MusicTM Pledge
As a
professional disc jockey who is concerned about the negative
influences in much of the music today, I pledge to carefully screen
the music I play for my younger audiences and for any of my clients
who request that I do so. I pledge to explain this option to each
of my clients and to give them the opportunity to determine what is
acceptable and what is not acceptable to be played. Since there is
music being played on many radio stations today whose content
promotes recreational sex, drug & alcohol use, degradation of women,
graphic & random violence, disrespect of law & authority, and the
gang lifestyle, I will not simply use the fact that a song is being played on the
radio as a test to determine if it is ok to play. I will screen the
lyrics to make this determination.
