RE: [dvd-discuss] ClearChannel Plays It Safe

["Ballowe, Charles" <CBallowe(at)usg.com>]

It may be an overreaction, but it's hard to see such
a change and not wonder why they're doing it. Many of the songs
on that list advocate peace or are anti-war -- I'm not sure
why they might ban those.

There are other songs that are much worse, given recent events,
that I didn't see on that list.

My opinion is that, as long as their advertisers let them do it,
they can do whatever they want -- listeners can find another 
station if it bothers them. I am, however, curious as to
what their criteria were for that list.
