I'd like to know what moron made up the list of songs banned on the radio af!


Question: I'd like to know what moron made up the list of songs banned on the radio after 911!!?
Ok,in case you did not know this, following 911 there was a list passed around to radio stations on what songs not to play!. Now while I could understand songs like "John Mellencamp's When the walls come crumbling down" and "Kansas' Dust in the wind" I'd was extremely offended by one that, although on the list that the link below is for, was horrible to hear on the radio following the loss of loved one!.
It was John Lennon's Imagine!. In the song he sings Imagine there's no heaven!. Well that was a horrible thought to play on the radio following the deaths of loved ones and friends!. I heard that song probably a hundred times in the 2 weeks that followed!. And I couldn't understand why other songs on the list had nothing that would upset people were not played!.
I mean really,let's think of the message that was being played in that song (Yes I know the message that most people talk about it being about,why are we fighting over religion)Www@Enter-QA@Com

Many People Lives Were Affected, And To Do That Just Is Not Human!.

I Really Wish I Knew Who Did That Cause I'd Show Them A Whole World Of Pain!.

Ok
NO YOURE NOT GOING TO SAY THE SONG IMAGINE IS A HORRIBLE SONG!.
I might be a bit biased because I am a huge fan!.
but the song is talking about the fact there shouldnt be any wars AT ALL!.
to live in this world in PEACE!.
Its a song that was maybe played at the wrong time!.
BUT YOU are NOT going to TELL ME that its a horrible song!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

you just arent smart enough to comprehend the true message of the song,it had nothing to do about heaven or religionWww@Enter-QA@Com

I agree,and I don't think anyone has understood the question either!. Leaving on a jet plane was on the list and leaving on a plane has nothing to do with 911 but it wasn't played!.
While the simple lyrics of telling people imagine there's no heaven after someone they knew died would definitely be hurtful!.
I think you should have posed it as a question like this!.
If you were at a funeral and the person and their family were religious wouldn't it be rude and improper to say " well I guess that's it,since theirs no heaven they're just dead!"
Of course it would,so playing that song based on the words and not the "meaning" of the song was wrong of those DJ's and stations that played it!.
BTW I was around then and you are right,that song (like so many songs today) was played over and over again!.
I also always thought that song was just about shock value anyway!. ooooh look at me I don't believe!. yeah whateverWww@Enter-QA@Com

Clear Channel has reportedly been regretting that they ever went into the radio business!. They're an insular, unimaginative bunch, dominated by a group of executives from rural Texas with a deep suspicion of city folk!.

That said, it's important to recall that in 2001 many of the teenagers here were maybe five years old and not really aware of the shock of the 9/11/01 attacks!. The adults were wandering around wondering if there would ever be comedy or music anywhere again!.

As another answerer wisely noted, as a nation we were shocked into massive stupidity that day, and history won't treat us very kindly for many of the actions we took afterwards!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Logic went out the window that day and is slow to return!.

Clear Channel rightfully took a lot of heat for their submissive, cowardly no-play list!.

I was not the least offended by "Imagine" being played!. In fact, I thought it was quite approriate, knowing the attacks were prompted by a variety of factors building up over decades that only Clinton tried to reverse- but he left the American base on Saudi soil, which was bin Laden's biggest gripe!. GW Bush removed it, just like Reagan pulled out of Beirut after his big mouth got 241 U!.S!. Marines blown up in their barracks!.

This is the land of the free!. Censoring songs is stupid!. Anytime!. Anyplace!. Anywhere!.

Hearing war profiteers like Darryl Worley and Toby Keith, who've never been near combat, singing about how big and tough they are was far more offensive!. If they had any guts, they would have done like Pat Tillman and enlisted!.

Instead, the atheist Tillman was probably murdered and those two portly country "artists" still make money off of tragedy!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

The question is about "the list" not a treatise on "Imagine!." There was no official list!. People used their heads!. Some program directors may have stricken certain songs; some group PDs the same!. But as far as "A list of banned songs!?" Never happened on any kind of mass basis!. Show it to me and I'll believe it (or track down who issued it)!. This is an urban legend!.
