LOUIE LOUIE Banned in Indiana in 1964

Posted on March 30, 2015

With indiana in the news these days, I thought it’d be a good time to remind everyone of another controversial action by a governor of Indiana…

From the official Indiana Local Government Information website, I present the article ….
Was “Louie Louie” Banned in Indiana?

Give the late Governor Matt Welsh the last word. Dave Marsh interviewed Welsh in 1991, and reported that the former Governor was “frustrated that ‘Louie Louie’ is all he’s remembered for.” Welsh said “I thought the whole thing was a tempest in a teapot, and not worth any extended pursuit. I have no interest in it either way.”
