Banning the Boss?

This boys and girls is a clear example of something belonging in the WTF category?

Apparently Clear Channel radio (or as I like to refer to them the minions of Satan) have banned Bruce Springsteen's new album Magic from their 72 thousand radio stations.

To add to my shock and awe about this whole thing, the only MSM I could find reporting the story is...sit down and swallow any liquids you may have in your mouth...FOXNews.com. (You have to scroll down past Britney "why are people still talking about me" Spears - it's the second item in the column.)

I'll wait while you regain your composure over the fact that *I* am actually citing Fox News. I can't help it - the other nine million sources that come up when you Google the subject are Blogs.

OK, so anyway, Clear Channel claims that they're doing this because Springsteen is too old and they're appealing to a younger demographic. But somehow it's OK to play Springsteen's older music - you know the music that came out before the coveted younger demographic was, like, born!

Now I'll wait while you come up with a way to explain this to me so that it makes sense and you can post it in my comments.

OK, ready? See, here's the thing...you think it might have something to do with the fact that both "Magic" and Springsteen are definitely anti-Iraq war? You think it might have something to do with songs like Last to Die on the album and Springsteen's very public disagreement with Dubyuh's three-ring circus, I mean administration?

I'm just saying...things that make you say Hmmmm...

Things that make the mind wobble and the blood pressure rise...I'll be OK - I'm breathing like my friend Cris tells me to.
