Show by LYN CONNELLY ROCK 'N ROLL music has been blamed for many things, but the latest attack on the reat beat may prove to be the straw that broke the camel's back . . . The Esso Research Center recently issued a statement to the effect that, "tuning in rock and roll music mu-sic on a car radio can cost a motorist mo-torist money." . . . During a series of experiments Esso scientists discovered dis-covered that rhythmic music can unconsciously compel the driver to jiggle the accelerator pedal in time with the music, thereby causing caus-ing a significant decrease in the number of miles a gallon of gas ordinarily produces. No one is, as yet, willing to predict pre-dict what effect this announcement announce-ment will have on the music business busi-ness ... or on the sale of car radios ra-dios . . . We'll venture out far enough to wager it won't stop too many people from listening to the radio . . Speaking of rock 'n roll, we liked this verse from Capitol's timely "Music Views" for October: Octo-ber: "Rock 'n roll's okay with me I have no fault to find, They can play it constantly And I won't really mind. Let it dwindle, let it grow, I never rave or scoff, For when it's on the radio I simply turn it off." And closing with the same subject, sub-ject, it seems that rock 'n roll has not only made Inroads into the American movie scene, but its influence in-fluence has extended to movies made in India ... An upcoming film entitled "Love Marriage" will feature a rock 'n roll type song . . . The tune's lyrics poke mild fun at rock 'n roll at the idea of setting Indian lyrics tp American pop tunes, a growing custom in that country. |
