It is not the first time such legislation has been filed in the Legislature. Similar bills have been proposed and allowed to die for well over a decade.

Rock and roll didn’t just appear fully formed one day. It grew out of a mix of musical traditions—blues, rhythm and blues, country, and gospel—that blended in places where life was loud and real.
