The government had evidence that MCA had engaged in numerous civil and criminal violations of law and empaneled a federal grand jury to hear the specifics of its charges, which included restraint of trade, conspiracy with SAG to monopolize talent and film program productions, extortion, discrimination, blacklisting, and the use of predatory business practices. Among those called to testify was Ronald Reagan, who displayed a remarkable loss of memory while on the witness stand. Soon after, the federal income tax records of Reagan and his wife were subpoenaed for the years following the MCA-SAG blanket waiver. – Dan Moldea, Dark Victory: Ronald Reagan, MCA and the Mob

The 'Wages of Spin II continues to weave the narrative thread established with the acclaimed (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, over 1000 PBS affiliate airings-featured on Entertainment Tonight) first installment. Little do millions of Americans know that in the 1970's and 1980's, the soundtracks of their lives were handpicked by a seedy consortium of Record Label Executives, Promotion Men, Organized Crime Figures and their cronies and Radio Programmers. WOS II also explores a DOJ investigation into MCA that was shut down by The DOJ hierarchy and the quid pro quo history of Ronald Reagan and MCA and how that relationship impacted the aforementioned DOJ investigation and the relationship of several key members of Reagan's hierarchy and MCA and MCA executives and organized crime families. — IMDb Internet Movie Database Why did the Mafia love the music business? ...

Siren (mythology) | Wikipedia —
Sirens of Greek mythology represent the dangers of “music” (artificial human orchestrated sound), something totally ignored by the inanity of Modernity, which vulgarizes everything through the commodification of all for moneymaking (love of money, materialism, mammon worship). Contrast insipid amusement-entertainment (but ultimately moneymaking) and detrimental effects of modern music with Byzantine chant.

Music of The Family of Man
Through the ages, every ethnicity has created unique forms of music that exhibit incredible human creativity stemming from human creation in the image and likeness of God the Creator of all. Music of The Family of Man is transfigured into unity of the Cosmos when it becomes Music of The Family of God-Man, when humans become Children of God and chant praises to Him in their native tongues, and in one and same liturgical celebration of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of Traditional Christianity (Eastern Orthodoxy, Orthodoxy).
