right?<<

Howard,

    it does create a problem.  songs such as "Jetairliner" by Steve Miller
Band or anything with an aviation theme will probably be curtailed for a
bit.  same as other "disaster" songs (Edmund Fitzgerald, for one).
   music does present a problem for balance of people's feelings.  there is
a double-edged sword, though.  there are songs with which i would find
nothing wrong, lyrically, yet someone will call and pick out a single word
that offended them, given the present circumstances.
   in much the same vein, broadcasters will have to wean themselves back
into certain advertising clients and their messages.
