The irony was certainly lost on one politician! In 1978, a bill was introduced  in the Maryland state legislature to make it illegal to play ôShort Peopleö on  the radio. Delegate Isaiah Dixon wanted radio stations and employees to be  criminally changed and fined for playing the song, but the bill was not passed. The irony was also lost on another person, who threatened to kill Newman! Plus, radio stations in Boston, New York, Philadelphia banned the song. And midgets  picketed at his concerts.
