Record industry leaders deny rock music fuels drug culture
Representatives of Warner Brothers and the Recording Industry Association told the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse in Los Angeles that rock lyrics reflect youth life but do not promote drugs. Critics claim industry stereotypes artists as drug users, but executives reject this view as baloney. The hearing, led by Raymond Shafer, included Dr. Aaron Stern and notes on a forthcoming two year study with a March 1973 report.
