In the stanza referencing events from 1960, what industry was affected by the "payola" he refers to?

The poster child for the payola scandal was Alan Freed, a famous disc jockey who was famous for pioneering the genre of "rock 'n roll". His career officially ended in 1960 when it was determined he had accepted bribes to promote certain songs, some of which he earned royalties from.
