Thread Name: songs being banned by ClearChannel
Subject: RE: songs being banned by ClearChannel
Oh Puleeeeessee, someone out there tell these people to GET A LIFE and stop interferring in others.

There is no way this should be allowed to happen. Jeez, the only comfort we have is knowing that when the Queen Mother finally shuffles off this mortal coil, they might actually make singing 'Grandma, we love you' a criminal offense!

There's sensitivity and there's going too far. Should we ban 'Obladi Oblada' because it mentions living happy ever after, or because it mentions cross dressing - 'Get Back' does as well, are they going to ban that one too? What about 'Revolution'? Hell, why not just ban anything the Beatles ever did, I'm sure there are people somewhere who'll find some of the lyrics offensive?

PC has made this world a minefield to live and talk in. It's about time someone with a good dose of sense gave it a shake up.
