Thread Name: songs being banned by ClearChannel
Subject: RE: songs being banned by ClearChannel
Great Balls of Fire? Did they listen to the lyrics? It's an expression, like "holy cow!". What about Light My Fire? I didn't see that on the list. Or "Fire" by the Crazy World of Arthur Brown. (Ok, that should be banned under any circumstances). I always knew that Shelley Fabares, Skeeter Davis, and Rick Nelson were subversive. Heck, the whole Nelson family were probably Commies. Ever notice on the TV show that Ozzie never had a job? Probably dealing drugs or spying for the Commies.

Old-time country songs to be avoided: Fire on the Mountain, Baltimore Fire, any cowboy songs mentioning campFIRES, Dark and Stormy Weather, Storms Are on the Ocean (not on this occasion, but if there's a hurricane, we don't want to upset any victims), anything involving death, which amounts to quite a few.

Country & Western songs: Please Help Me, I'm Falling (Hank Locklin), Gone, Gone, Gone (Lefty Frizell), Remember Me, Pick Me up on Your Way Down, Walking the Floor Over You, Ashes of Love, Ring of Fire, To Hot to Handle.

OK, someone else take it from here.
