In 1964, two teenagers from a small town in Indiana got upset with the obscene lyrics that they thought heard in a new rock ‘n roll song on the radio, and decided they wanted to do something about it. They both wrote a letter to the governor.<\/p>\n
Will Higgins<\/strong>, an investigative reporter with the Indianapolis Star<\/strong>, dug a little deeper into this story, and tracked down these two teenagers whose letters to Governor Matthew Welsh<\/strong> inspired a serious attempt to stop the Kingsmen<\/strong>‘s recording of LOUIE LOUIE from being broadcast in Indiana.<\/p>\n It’s quite a story<\/a>. Neither of these former teenagers are identified, and based on what i can tell, they may be content to remain anonymous.<\/p>\n Then again, who knows? Sometimes people do change their minds, and this is quite a unique narrative…<\/p>\n Check out this report, which turned out to Will Higgins’ last article for Indianapolis Star, as he recently chose to retire from that organization.
