(NOT AVAIALABLE FOR LICENSING: Soundtrack of Prince's "Little Red Corvette") Adult Caucasian male audio technician at radio station cutting out tape of Prince song that mentions Trojan condoms. William Steding, General Manager at KAAM/KAFM radio station, explains why his station edits songs: "It's not a question of are we unduly effecting the artist's material. It is a question of social benefit versus social cost." VS of adult Caucasian male and female DJs at work in studio, pulling 8-tracks out of tape decks; Hodding Carter voiceover talking about the Mormon owned radio station's policy. Steding: "The artists have not come out against what we are doing. In fact, the record companies comply with the request to edit music. It's not really an issue of that. It's an issue of what is best for the marketplace and society as a whole. And you have to weigh the benefit of letting one artist have his freedom of expression on your radio station that communicates with 600,000 people a week with the cost of some of those young, impressionable minds."
