But here is where the rubber does not quite meet the road. They SAY they are stopping due to the huge number of complaints.
But from what reporters are reporting out of individual stations, the number of complaints was in the tens or dozens, in some cases a hundred plus, but many of those stations ALSO recieved a larger number of SUPPORT calls, and requests for the song. In some reported cases, hundreds more calls in support than in opposition. To me it is another example of a spineless corporate suit making a "safe" decision to err on the side of a vocal minority rather than actually serve the majority of their customers.
