He runs two radio stations, one in Dallas and one in Salt Lake City, owned by the Mormon church. I received a flyer in the mail from this group, talking about their idea for cleaning up lyrics. The [[Parents Music Resource Center|PMRC]] wanted to put [[wikipedia: The Scarlet Letter|The Scarlet Letter]] on offensive LPs; the NMRC wanted to put an &quot;Attaboy&quot; sticker on albums, indicating that it contains nothing objectionable. At Steading&#039;s stations, when a new record came in, someone would listen to it, decide what he didn&#039;t like, transfer the record to tape, edit the tape and play the &#039;clean&#039; tape on the air instead of the record. </ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2"> </td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="color: #222; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">That was rather deceptive.
