. For instance, Jesse Jacksons PUSH program also supported the record rating system. Jackson stated there is a correlation between music lyrics and the rate of teenage pregnancy among blacks (Berry and Wolin 1986:596). As early as 1978, Jackson had complained about the Rolling Stones song Some Girls, which he considered a racial insult because it contains the line "Black girls just want to get *censored*ed all night" (McDonald 1988a:301). Another reported PMRC ally is the American Academy of Pediatrics (Norwood 1987:94; but see Marsh 1991 who states this organization is unjustly claimed to have supported the PMRC). In their November 1988 newsletter, the AAP advised parents to supervise their children while watching MTV in order to moderate the negative influence of sexual and violent images (Gow 1990:2). In San Antonio a group called Parents Against Subliminal Seduction (PASS) pressed the city council to create a rating system for live concerts (Gray 1989b:11).

While immediately following the PMRCs actions, several anti-censorship organizations popped up, most of them have ceased to exist, not rarely because of lack of supprot and finances. The one organization that has continued to exist is Rock n Roll Confidential, recently renamed into Rock n Rap Confidential. The organization is nationally organized, has representatives in most U.S. states, and...
