YouTwo.net note: In a recent Rolling Stone magazine article,
it was mentioned that Clear Channel controlled
approximately 30% of the United States' radio stations.
From Radio Undercover:
Clear Channel radio network calls
Beatles, Elton John and others
lyrically questionable
American radio network Clear Channel has removed songs
by The Beatles, Elton John, Queen and U2 from their
playlist after last Tuesday's World Trade Center attack.
Songs considered "lyrically questionable" by Clear Channel
programmers include The Beatles 'A Day In The Life', Elton
John's 'Rocket Man', Queen's 'Another One Bites The Dust'
and U2's 'Sunday Bloody Sunday'.
Clear Channel are the world's largest radio network and
have recommended 150 songs be withdrawn from their
radio network playlists.
Also on the list, The Bangles 'Walk Like An Egyptian', Jerry
Lee Lewis 'Great Balls Of Fire' and Kansas 'Dust In The
Wind' have been taken off the air.
Clear Channel own radio stations all over the world and
control the Australian Radio Network with major ownership
of stations MIX and WSFM in Sydney and MIXFM and
GOLD FM in Melbourne.
Make's you wonder if U2 will take certain songs out of 3rd leg that have been on setlist in 1st and 2nd leg, like BTBS and SBS......
