Jethro Tull Banned

Post by Jack Dempsey »

Just read this newspaper report....

British rockers Jethro Tull have benn banned by a US radio station after their lead singer blasted American patriotism.
Flautist and vocalist Ian Anderson told a US newspaper he hated to see the Stars and Stripes being waved eveywhere in the States.
WCHR-FM in New Jersey reacted by banning Tull's music from their airwaves.
Programme director Phil LoCascio said: 'The ban is forever'.

Patriotism is the most misused term by the right (conservatives). Anyone who doesn't agree with the ideas that "W" puts out there is not a patriot. If you don't agree with the government, you are not a patriot. I think the patriots are those who are against this whole thing. What bussiness do we have anyway running the world.

I said it before, I'm enbarassed.

Probably that radio normally plays the patriotic Britney Spears and N'Sync.

But at the end, Who cares? Prog' music has been banned from 99% of the radio stations since the genre was born.

Sometimes, being banned is a badge of honor. I'd definitely say so in this case.

Well I always thought that G.W. "Litle Milton" Bush and Aqualung are lookalike.
