Quick Janeen Brady Primer:

We had pretty much all of the Janeen Brady stuff. There were a couple different sides to her materials, though it was all sold at Desert Book type places. (I know my mom was an avid Jorgensen’s Boon Store shopper. Anyone with deep ties to Weber or Davis County knows Jorgensen’s was the hot spot for LDS literature.)

Her LDS Specific stuff was very on the nose (I’m a Mormon!) and while that is what got her foot in the door, that’s not where she made hay.

Her other stuff was where she made it. This very in line with LDS teachings, but was vague enough that it caught on with lots of Christians.

This stuff includes the Safety Kids stuff, (teaching kids about drugs and sexual predators) and the Standin’ Tall stuff, teaching kids about general moral principles like Honesty, Work, Cleanliness, Dependability, etc. I think there were 12 or 13 books, all with a story and 2-3 songs in each one. The accompanying cassette had voice actors to tell the story and sing the songs. This book and tape combo was our primary entertainment as we traveled when I was a kid.

I can still sing parts of many of the songs years later.

Bonus: The song “Who Broke My Window” was from the book Honesty. That song became especially popular because it got made into an ad for the LDS church:

Do you recognize any of the actors?

Man. I'm glad Kate Kelly could bring such wonderful musical memories to this board!

I don't think that's him, is it?

[MartyFunkhouser]

I didn't have these albums.

I do remember my parents having a cassette tap of the Mormon Rap.

I still have a Mormon Rap cassette tape. Don't think I have anything to play it on, though.

That was my first thought. But the actor looks too old to be Satan in young boy Carlton's time frame.

My younger sister, born in '76, had a bunch of those brite music ones. There were some that were just songs, and then I seem to remember some that were stories with songs mixed in.

The one that easily comes to mind for me is the "I'm a VIP in my Family" song.

I'm a VIP
In my Family
I'm a VIP you see

I'm a VIP
In my Family
A very important person, that's me

A very important person
A very important person
A very important person
That's me.

I also remember one - a duet - about honesty.

Who broke my window?

Telling the truth isn't going to be easy....

I remember that one very well. And the Safety Kids stuff. Never heard the song from the article.

It's thanks to the safety kids that I remember my first phone number with perfect clarity.

This is probably a bad time for this to come out.

Not to mention her FB post this morning that included the following:

In the 1940s and 1950s, J. Reuben Clark was among LDS Church leaders who advocated the racial segregation of Utah hospital blood banks so that white LDS people would not have their blood “mixed” through transfusions from black donors.

Or to have 5,000 chapels out there and being "self insured."

I’m guessing Sister Brooks has been sitting on that book for a bit, waiting for the next big racial uproar to pull the trigger and drop it while tensions are high.

Ha. No doubt about it. Fortunate timing for her.

I’m sure most saw the footage from Saturday’s protest of the old dude with the machete and now and arrow trying to plug protestors. Well, it appears that he literally is now a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the news and on the news. In all his endowed glory. Of course he’s in scoops.



Not sure exactly what’s going on here, but I sure hope he has someone that can keep a closer eye on him.
