Clearchannel? Doesn't seem so clear to me Mark Unseen   Sep 19 00:59 UTC 2001
For those of you who didn't see this on Slashdot, it seems that 
ClearChannel Communications (a rather huge radio conglomerate in the US, 
owners of Ann Arbor's Kool 107, W4 Country, and WTKA) have issued a list 
of songs that are not to be played on any ClearChannel station until 
further notice.  The complete list of forbidden songs can be found at 
http://www.fuckedcompany.com/extras/clearchannel_email.cfm

Among the highlights (low points?) of the list that should probably 
not be on the list(in my opinion):
Cat Stevens - Peace Train
Led Zepplin - Stairway to Heaven
Billy Joel - Only the Good Die Young
Shelly Fabares - Johnny Angel
Surfaris - Wipeout
47 responses total.

Ronnie Dio's  "Holy Diver"?  Hell, Pat Boone covered that song.

This is what happens when we assume that deregulation is OK.

I don't know pop music well enough to see a pattern here.  What counts as
"questionable content" in their eyes?
