The worst instance on this list for me is "Bridge Over Troubled Water" -- now, not only am I not the biggest Simon and Garfunkel guy in the world, they kinda get on my nerves, but I would imagine that for a lot of people (viz., millions upon millions), they would WANT to hear this song played on the radio with quite a bit of frequency right about now. Some of these entries seemed to me to add insult to injury, as I can't remember the last time I ever heard "St. Elmo's Fire" by the immortal John Parr on the radio -- probably when leg warmers and Colecovision were still hot items. Suppose that means they're not gonna play the Brian Eno song either. Also, who's even playing RATM on corporate radio now?

I guess we could try pretending to agree with him; that would probably shut him up. I remember a cartoon that used to run in the National Lampoon called "Politenessman." The first couple of panels would show some people being rude or vulgar in an extreme situation, like armed robbery or a boat sinking, and suddenly Politenessman would appear, hit the *victim* with a steel hankerchief, and politely chide them for their rudeness and vulgarity -- without actually doing anything to help them out of the extreme situation they were in. So the last panel or two would show those people saying things like "Darn it all! We're up intercoursing bloody creek!" as the boat sinks below the waterline and Politenessman just sort of saunters (or rows) away, saying something to the effect of "There's never a good excuse for rude behavior!" I'm not sure how relevant this is; I've just got a weird feeling about it. By the way, it's called a "bastilla"...

Well, sure, but there are only a few songs on the list which are controversial *only* because of internal content ("Rooster," "Imagine," "Hey Joe," "Santa Monica," "That'll Be the Day"...). Most of the choices could have been made without even hearing the songs. I mean, I don't think I've heard the Gap Band's "You Dropped a Bomb on Me," but I'm pretty sure I know why it was banned. ;) >> Hollies "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" > >Post-September 11th, it may conjure an image of carrying bodies. Mmm, I don't buy this. Wasn't this song originally perceived as sort of a pacifist anthem of the Vietnam War era? That sounds like a better reason to delete it. >> Los Bravos "Black is Black" > >"I want my baby back/it's grey/since you went away" > >> Everclear "Santa Monica" > >"Watch the world die" OK, I buy these explanations. As for the list being a hoax, here's my theory: The Clear Channel has a banned list, but it's not necessarily *that* list. However, there was a front-page story in the Los Angeles Times yesterday, and it explicitly confirmed 25 of those songs as being banned by the Clear Channel. But perhaps some Internet guy found out some of the banned songs, added more suggestions of his own and passed off his list as "fact." That sounds perfectly feasible. Gregory jumped into the fire (oops, perhaps I should ban this sentence): >Here is the dead obvious pattern.. > >A Jeme says something outrageous and completely unsupportable. >B He gets called on it.

Jeme isn't *always* like this -- he's perfectly pleasant when it comes to discussions about computers, Pokemon cards, Lorne Greene films and most other topics. Just don't remind him that governments exist, or that anyone on Earth earns a lot of money besides himself.

If you were thinking about adopting a fuzzy thing, this would be a good time. PLEASE FORWARD From New Yorkers for Companion Animals 212-427-8273 I have been going to CACC since they opened. In all my years of rescue from this shelter, I have NEVER seen what was witnessed yesterday. Cars were double-parked up and down the block on 110th Street. Inside the shelter, the lobby was completely FULL with people dropping off animals. It seems many people for whatever reason (fear or possible damage to homes) are suddenly "moving" out of the city and cannot take their animals. An unusually high number of "strays" also suddenly coming in: Five Purebred Chow Chows, Pomeranians and many other breeds. Sharon at the CACC showed me a smallish pure Collie who looked just like a scruffed up version of Lassie. This very sweet, senior dog had just come in as "stray." (We put a memo on her.) Cats, moms and litters were also everywhere. Many of them suddenly abandoned after years in a home. The computers are still down at CACC. There is pitifully scant information on the animals' cards. Though we can surmise many of these now-homeless pets are actual or indirect victims of the WTC tragedy, such is not indicated on their kennel cards. Many of the groups or individuals who have offered to "help WTC animals" will not help these as "WTC" is not noted on the cards. (snip) People who want to help these animals need to be CONTACTING ALL RESCUE GROUPS and SHELTERS in New York WHO TAKE CACC pets, including ours, NYCA. Most are listed on Petfinder.org. Or, if in New York, they can adopt directly from the shelter. Please forget about requirements that the animals "be victims of the WTC tragedy." Trust me, they ARE. Patty (NYCA) (212) 427-8273.
