You ever sat through the repititious first 3 minutes of Layla, putting in your time, waiting patiently for the payoff, the 3 minutes of pure "Goodfellas" bliss that is the second half of that song, only to have the station cut it!?
Ever heard "Load Out" without "Stay"? Or "Travelin Man" without the obligatory "Beautiful Loser" follow up?
I think the most egregious violation i've ever heard though was a rendition of American Pie, with the "now for 10 years..." verse completely removed. Gotta be kidding me.

Subject: Listening to the radio
Yesterday I was listening to one of the better radio stations in DFW.
It's called Jack FM. Their slogan is "Playing what we want to". They
don't have DJ's. They don't take requests and you hear songs on it
that you haven't heard in ages. It has a wide, wide mix of music.
You might be listening to CCR one minute and then the latest from
Nelly the next. All in all a great station to listen to. So
yesterday when Lou Reed's, "Walk on the Wild Side" came on, I started
singing along to it. Classic song!
So I'm singing:
"Candy came from out on the island
in the backroom she was everybody's darling
But she never lost her head
even when she was errrrp heff"
errrp heff ?????????? So now even radio stations that seem to be on
the fringe are censoring songs? Truthfully, I've never even heard
this song censored in my life, all 35 years of it so far. How long
will this crap last? How long 'til we have thought police. Arrgghhh!
