I'm pretty sure this one has nothing to do with airplanes, death, or war.
It doesn't make a lot of sense at all, really. I mean, here's the chorus:
"Anything plain can be lovely
Anything loved can be lost
Maybe I lost my direction
What if our love is the cost?
Anyone perfect must be lying
Anyone loved can be lost
What if I lost my direction?
What if I lost sense of time?
What if I nursed this infection?
Maybe the worst is behind
And it feels like I'm falling for the first time"
Ok, so it talks about losing love and falling. Sheesh. If they're gonna
pick on BNL's death songs, shouldn't they ban the one about falling asleep
while driving and dying? For God's sake...
<snip a bunch of songs I don't know>
> Kansas "Dust in the Wind"
Ok, that one kind of makes sense, too.

Is this, "I don't care what they say I won't stay in a world without

Both are on this list. WTF?

On the boats and on the planes, they're comin to America.

I don't get this one... Is it due to the "Keep my feet on the ground,

Oh come on, no one even knows what 99 luft balloons is about, except for
the part about Captain Kirk.
> Is this a bit extreme, or what?
Sheesh. I'll say. It looks like they searched for lyrics with airplanes,
fire, death and destruction, death, anything having to do with the middle
east, and then just threw in a few more random ones to mess with people.
Next thing you know, they'll be burning books in the streets.

Actually, considering that his "Peace Train" is
also banned from Clear Channel networks, my guess
is that they're just banning anything of his that
they'd regularly program, due to the Islam connection.
I mean. "Peace Train?" Seems to me that'd be a
*good* song to play right now.

Speaking of music, of course we're all going to be
subjected to a number of hideous "tribute" cuts over
the next few months. I'm sure the majority of them
will be awful - set to bad, schmaltzy pop tunes with
little-to-no meaning other than "love is good; pain
is bad," or, worse yet, set to hastily whipped up,
badly produced new tunes.
VNV Nation is a great band; I heartily recommend
them to people who like 80s-ish synthpop. They're
modern, and I think they're german. Their songs
tend to tug my heartstrings pretty heftily. A
fellow rivethed has set a moving and touching tribute
to one of their songs:
http://www.pulselegion.com/sanctuary/tragedy/index.shtml
The sound quality on the piece is poor, but other
than that, I find it more appropriate than anything
I've seen in a long time.

We'll release a bunch of helium balloons near the Berlin Wall as an
anti war protest. Oops. They show up on defense warning screens and
trigger world war three.

Nope. There was a blanket prohibition early in the list.

I can understand a broadcaster putting some songs on hiatus after certain

It's already happened. The Phoenix "news" station (KTAR) has cobbled
together a bunch of sound clips from the recent unpleasantness played
behind Ray Charles's "America." Bleah!

Hey, lady, you should come to LA. We have SO MANY
donut shops. PBS did a special on Long Beach's donut
shops called "Cambodian Donut Dreams." OK, that was
just about our Cambodian-owned donut shops, not about
all the ones owned by other immigrants or native Americans.
But seriously. Lotsa donut shops.

I guess it depends on what you'd call a presence. Relatively
speaking, no. I'm sure there are donut shops in the US, heck, there's
even a Tim's in Detroit now, apparently, but a presence, no.
The recent Journey to the Heart of America found no donut shops where
there should be donut shops, where there should be various donut shops
viciously fighting each other for the drive through crowd. I was
bitterly disappointed at not finding a Krispy Kreme (I know I was a
bit out of their stronghold, but...) as I wanted to give them a test
drive on the eve of their attempted Canadian invasion. The few
reviews I've heard have been less than enthusiastic, and I really
wanted to snoop one out myself.

Executives within the radio division at Clear Channel Communications -- one of
the nation's largest radio conglomerates -- denied any list had been developed.
But sources familiar with the situation said an informal list of songs -- with
lyrics and/or themes that might seem inappropriate to some -- had been
delivered throughout the music industry.
But the list of songs wasn't meant as a way to censor stations. Radio
programmers with Clear Channel -- parent company to 1,170 stations across the
United States -- began developing a list of songs, apparently through e-mail,
with lyrics that some might consider offensive in the wake of the attacks.
As the list was forwarded from station to station, people continued to add
songs. Eventually, the list had over 150 songs.
The list was then sent out to managers, artists and radio stations across the
country, according to sources familiar with the events. However, the move was
meant as an informational campaign for programmers not familiar with all of the
songs.
On the list were rather obvious songs to be avoided like Steve Miller's "Jet
Airliner," Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" and Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to
Heaven."
But the list was meant to help programmers who might not envision that
Everclear's "Santa Monica" might offend some listeners, said sources familiar
with the list. Without knowing the lyrics to the song, programmers might have
played the song that contains the lyrics "swim out past the breakers/watch the
world die."

You should keep in mind that Ontario has a *lot* more donut shops (or
Timmy's, at least) than other parts of the country, or at least B.C. The
proliferation of Tims is almost the first thing I noticed after I moved
from Vancouver to Sarnia (well, after going "Damn, it sure is flat out
here!"). A cursory web search indicated that Windsor has as many Tim
Hortons as the entirety of B.C. I also played with the numbers to find the
relative distribution of Tim Horton's and Starbucks in the two provinces.
If I can find it, I'll post it.

Yes, it does in my experience, at least. Tim's #1 was in Hamilton,
and really only started spreading widely out of the Golden
Horseshoe/401 area relatively recently. Northern Ontario, at least
when I lived there, was dominated by Robins'. Various other regions
have their own dominant donut shop chain, not to mention the
independents, but there's still a heck of a lot of them compared to
the US.

Is Starbucks a noticeable presence outside of the Greater Vancouver
area in BC? BC is the Canadian entry point for Starbucks, they are
very noticeable in the GVA, but do you find peeps going through them
on a frosty morning in Kitamat? It might be more accurate to play
with the distributions of Robins, Tim's, Dunkin Donuts, Coffee Time,
Mr. C's and Country Styles, those are really in a different market
than Starbucks.

I'm trying not to, but I might have to. I found a good price on a flight
back to Vancouver, but by the time I had asked about getting an extra
couple of days off work the seat sale was over and prices got jacked up
$300. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for another sale, but it's up in the

Well, it was just a goof in an email to some friends, but checking
Canada411.com gives 118 S'bucks in B.C., and 86 in Vancouver (which seems
to include the GVA). Not that I'm complaining, mind you. I much prefer a
large double-double and a chocolate glazed over a grande cappuccino with a
biscotti.

From the L. A. Times:
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-091801pop.story
'Radio disc jockeys were being warned against playing songs that might
seem in poor taste. The nation's largest chain of radio stations
distributed a long list of questionable song titles to programmers,
ranging from AC/DC's "Highway to Hell," to the Chi-Lites' "Have You
Seen Her," to, oddly, Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled
Water."...
'Radio musical programmers, shoved aside by news coverage last week,
were wary of offending listeners. Jack Evans, an executive with the
1,200-station, San Antonio-based Clear Channel group, prepared a list
of 150 potentially offensive song titles as a guide for programmers.
The list cut a swath across formats from rock to pop to oldies. It
included AC/DC's "Safe in New York City," Alanis Morissette's
"Ironic," which makes reference to a plane crash, and both the Bob
Dylan and Guns N' Roses versions of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door."'
On last Tuesday, someone at San Francisco's KFOG reportedly
played Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust." I don't know if they've
claimed it was unintentionally in bad taste or not.

It's not that he's a Moslem. It's that he has long embraced Islamic
Fundamentalism and endorsed the fatwa against Salman Rushide several years ago,
even said he'd carry out the death sentence himself.

I had the misfortune of being exposed to two of them today on, would you believe

One of the local stations (not Clear Channel) seems to think that it's somehow

I guess in the last couple of weeks, I can't think something like that would

about it all the time and ask people for advice and share a lot of things and
Karen would kind of roll her eyes, and then the other girls'd be all catty

Reminds me of a football game I went to over a decade ago in Trumbull, Conn.
between the Staten Is. Bulldogs and a team from Russia. It was sponsored by
Southern New England Telephone with some sort of anti-drug abuse message.
But when the award-winning Connecticut Hurricane performed at halftime, how
many realized the Fantastic Symphony they played was about a narcotics trip?

Oh, do it again, and I'll be there with bells on.
Chattanooga is the place where, if I HAD to move north, I'd go. Nice the
little brew pub down by the aquarium, and that catfish restaurant down on the
river that looks like a bunch of stuck-together buildings.
I had the best car problem incident just outside Chattanooga a few years ago.
It's 11 pm at night, alternator goes out, lights go out, car dies. We call
911. Nice trooper shows up, lets us play with his radio and lights until the
tow truck shows up. Tow truck takes us to 2-3 hotels to find vacancy, to bank
to get ATM money, to garage, and back to hotel. $40. Garage guy picks us up
in the morning, doesn't have new alternator, but has rebuilt one, installs it
and charges us $64, total. We're on our way by 9 am. Everyone was nice.

I heard Stairway to Heaven some time late last week. It seems to me our local
stations were using their best discretion, but I didn't try to listen so hard.
What really got to me was the Vassar College independent "random" format
station was taking requests, and the DJ at the time I was listening refused to
play in particular Randy Newman's "Political Science" including such lyrics:
"No one likes us-I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens"
etc., and anything along that theme (just for the time being, he didn't feel
right about it), but that's the example he used. Then he went on blah blah
blah, mindless pop, and went on to describe how he had to buy the best of
Cowsills because he couldn't get the song "Hair" out of his head, but that he
wasn't going to play that (because he had already listened to it 20,000 times)
and that he hadn't known this before, but he found out, the Cowsills sang the
theme song for the 70's program "Love, American Style" and he played that and I
just lost it completely. I fell apart.
It goes like this:
(Theme by Charles Fox and Arnold Margolin)
"Love, Love, Love
Love, American Style,
Truer than the Red, White and Blue.
Love, American Style,
That's me and you.
And on a star spangled night my love, (My love come to me).
You can rest you head on my shoulder.
Out by the dawn's early light, my love
I will defend your right to try.
Love, American Style,
That's me and you."

It says something like, 'on the boats and on the planes, they're comin' to
America.' I think that list got rid of every song with the word "plane"
in it.
Besides, it's Neil Diamond.

Has anyone figured out why these particular songs were "banned"? From the
songs I even recognize on the list - these just don't seem disrespectful or
offensive in any way (not that all of the others were).

I wasn't necessarily overjoyed or healed by hearing one of Greenwoods bandmates
calling up the local radio to plug the latest just written song inspired by the
crisis. Its a bit sad when your entire career is built on such.

Well, except the guy who wrote it became -- you guessed it -- a militant
Muslim, and called for the death of Salman Rushdie. IIRC, Natalie
Merchant recalled all her CDs with the tune on it, and reissued without
the song, in protest.
