You never saw the post 9-11 list of banned songs?


There were NO banned songs. After 9/11 one of the PDs made a list of songs
that might be inappropriate, particularly if coming out of a 9/11 news
report... so other programmers could consider them when scheduling music.
Other PDs added songs, and it circulated. It was never a "banned list" but
rather, a list of songs to be careful about.

It prevents the equivalent of running a news story about a plane disaster
and them playing "Leaving on a Jet Plane" out of the news. It's called
"responsibility."

All the stuff you posted is urban legened... not one item is true.

Incorrect. The issue here was the Dixie Chicks, and nearly every country
station in the US took them off after their comments on Bush. Clear was
the
last big broadcaster to remove the songs, in a reaction to listener
distaste
for the Chicīs' actions.
