6.  I've heard about Steve Allen's involvement in the movement to improve the quality and decency of popular entertainment.   How can I get involved?
Answer:  First you should read Steve’s latest book Vulgarians At The Gate: Raising The Standards Of Popular Culture.  He completed this provocative treatise on popular culture only days before his untimely passing in October, 2000.  It was published posthumously in the Spring of 2001, received terrific reviews, and rose to #7 on the Los Angeles Times non-fiction Bestseller list by August , 2001!  The book is now available here at The Steve Allen Store

 
"This book is the last of many gifts that Steve Allen has given to the American people.  Just as he so brilliantly made a generation laugh, Steve compellingly shows us why we should all cry for the degradation of our culture and our common values.  But true to Steve’s thoughtful way, he does more than just complain about the problem.  Through this book he challenges his fellow citizens to assert their First Amendment rights to demand a safer, saner culture for their children and generations to come."
...The Honorable Senator Joe Lieberman

  "A good teacher in life, Steve Allen has bequeathed us the ultimate homework assignment.  In VULGARIANS AT THE GATE, he has eloquently framed a real problem that increasingly degrades our society.  His voice must not be a tree falling in the forest."     
Grant Tinker
Former Chairman, NBC

"In VULGARIANS AT THE GATE , entertainment king Steve Allen, takes on the mantle of the cultural advocate, leading the battle required to cleanse our society of this pervasive cultural scourge.  His warnings are timely, his appeals passionate and the record of his accomplishments impeccable – a must read for all those who resent the victories of the vulgarians. "
...Dr. C. Delores Tucker
National Chair, National Political Congress of Black Women

Another good move would be to write the Parents Television Council at 707 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 2075, Los Angeles, CA 90017 or visit their Website at www.parentstv.org.  The PTC has already attracted over 750,000 members.  They fall on both the political right and left and include people of various religions and races.  But they share one perception -- that American popular culture (films, television and recordings) has gone far beyond traditional boundaries of taste and decency.

If there is a question you think should be included on the site's "Frequently Asked Questions," please email the webmaster at: webmaster@steveallenonline.com
