>I kid you not. KaTe has been banned here in the UK. Or to be more >specific Army Dreamers has been placed on the official list of >songs/films which are considered inappropriate for public broadcasting. Someone in the UK can give specifics, but my understanding is that these songs have not been banned, exactly. Rather, the BBC has come up with a list of songs that they think are innappropriate right after Persian Gulf War news, so they are recommending that these songs not be played then. I don't know how strenous this "recommendation" is, nor do I know if this recommendation holds only for songs played immediately after war news. I hope someone will enlighten me. >/ __ /\ evan@castle.ed.ac.uk /\ I went... \ >\ |_ \ / \/ rew@lfcs.ed.ac.uk \/ I saw... / >/ |__VAN \/\/ELSH /\ evan@tardis.cs.ed.ac.uk/\ She sang... \ -- Ed Suranyi | "I couldn't hope to do it anywhere near as well ed@das.llnl.gov | as Kate Bush because she is a Goddess."
