Thread Name: Drunken Sailor song protested
Subject: RE: Drunken Sailor song protested
Back in 1998, the O'Fallon (Missouri) high school marching band was going to use the Jefferson Airplane song White Rabbit in a performance. Someone protested, the band was ordered not to play it, a lawsuit came about, and tons of high school students who only knew it as an instrumental number looked up the lyrics on the Internet, thus introducing them to the dopelore that the complainer was trying to prevent them from exploring. (People Magazine gave it a small article in the November 16, 1998 issue)
