Thread Name: banned songs
Subject: RE: banned songs
I've not only enjoyed the responses to this thread but have learned a hell of a lot as well. Last Monday I had another insight on how a song might get "banned".

After having played "The Soldier", by Harvey Andrews, a few weeks ago on my show, I thought I'd play his song "England", which is a SATIRE!. Yup, got two outraged calls, with both listeners telling me not to play such "chauvinistic crap".(they phrased it more graphically) Both missed the song's point completely. Watch it songwriters, there are Philistines everywhere.
