Composed motets (they were grand),
The King adored grand motets,
And asked for them in sacred sets.

Alan Freed (15 December 1921 – 20 January 1965) was an American disc jockey.
Career Advice
In the early 1960s, Freed's career was destroyed by the payola scandal that hit the broadcasting industry. -- Wikipedia
When he presented rock-n-roll, a
DJ sometimes got payola,
Which was the case with Alan Freed,
Who was detected in the deed,
And this is what, it’s pretty clear,
Disrupted his robust career.
Moral for DJs and Critics
Don’t let graft, or greed, or bribery
Affect your playlist or your scribery!
