Here is an article written by a High School chum of
mine.  Fans of gallows humor, be sure to read to the
end for the suggestions of songs that were omitted.

Radio network's list of 'inappropriate songs' hits
sour note with some

By Todd Inoue
BayArea.com
Published: Sept. 17, 2001, 6:15 p.m.

A program director at a local Clear Channel radio
station confirmed that the company disbursed a list
of "inappropriate songs" that shouldn't get airplay
following last week's terrorist attacks on the East
Coast.

"It was a list that was distributed so that we
wouldn't have to listen to every song and make
judgment calls," said Gary Schoenwetter, program
director for San Francisco-based and Clear Channel-
owned Star 101.3 who received the list this week. "It
served as a guide in deciding what was and wasn't
appropriate."

Schoenwetter adds that stations are not banned from
playing any songs. They can, and do, stray from the
line-up, he said, and it is far from a be-all, end-
all list.

"Had we been a station that played Edwin
Starr's 'War,' we would have left that one in,"
Schoenwetter said. "It was distributed under the
guise of 'Use this list at your discretion,' like any
corporate memo. It wasn't handed out as the hand of
God."

Flooding the inbox of music lovers and censorship
opponents, the list, first published by F--
kedCompany.com, came from Clear Channel, the owner
and operator of 1170 stations nationally and one of
the largest media organizations worldwide.

The song list was sent to all Clear Channel radio
stations, advising program directors about what songs
would be inappropriate to broadcast after the East
Coast tragedy.

Some songs include references to war ("War
Pigs," "Sunday Bloody Sunday") and bombs ("You
Dropped a Bomb on Me"). Others refer to peace
("Imagine," "Peace Train," "What a Wonderful World")
and celebrating ("Dancing in the Streets").

Program director Larry Sharp of San Francisco-based,
Susquehana-owned rock 'n' roll station 107.7 "The
Bone" saw the list and feels some of the choices
exclude songs that could help in the healing process.

"I agree there are some songs [that are
inappropriate] but I thought a lot of them went too
far," he said. "When you pull 'Stairway to Heaven,'
that's a song people play at funerals. You want to
hear a song like that during these times."

A corporate Clear Channel representative could not be
reached for comment or to confirm the list of songs
published on F--kedCompany.com.

The company released a public statement regarding the
list, however.

"The American entertainment industry, including
music, cinema and television, regularly incorporates
violence and tragedy in lyrics, plots and
storylines," the statement reads. "Given the
environment, a Clear Channel program director took it
upon himself to identify a number of songs that
certain markets or individuals might find insensitive
today."

"This is not a mandate nor was the list generated out
of corporate radio offices," the statement
continued. "It was a grassroots effort that was
apparently circulated by program directors. It's the
discretion of each program director and general
manager to take polls of his or her market and if so
for how long."

The following songs were reportedly listed as
having "questionable" content: (omitted)

[readers get a chance to vote:]

What song should be added to this list?

"Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" - The Smiths
"Killing an Arab" - The Cure
"Its Raining Men" - Geri Halliwell
"B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)" - Outkast
"I Will Remember You" - Sarah McLachlan

Here's an article with some quotes from Ian Whitcomb concerning the recent
resurgence of  "God Bless America."  The media went to him I guess because
he wrote a book about Gershwin.  Haven't read that yet but I will again
highly recommend his book "After the Ball: From Ragtime to Rock."  Tons of
info on music in the first half of the 20th Century, written in the same
entertaining style as the Hawaiian music article and other stuff on his
website.

I still say that San Cooke's "Wonder World" probably does not deserve
airplay.  SAM Cooke's "What a Wonderful World", I believe, would be fine.

Dear List

In order to save you from my long-winded record-related rants, I've
recently poured my thoughts into "diary" pieces on a website.
There are diaries about life or not having one.
And pieces about records and music and everything else.

The website is here
http://www.vinylconfessions.com/

And the musical things, listed under "record rants" are here:

http://www.vinylconfessions.com/records.htm

This doesn't mean I'll never rant here again but I may not.

Hi.  Been lurking for long enough.  Guess it's about time I've joined.
Name's Doug Dale.  Was host of Comedy Central's TV Funhouse.  Hope it comes
back.  They're working on it.  Moved to the New York area last fall.  I
didn't know anybody who was hurt in the tragedy, thank God.  My wife works
downtown and has to deal with it every day.  My two kids are doing okay.
We're in New Jersey.  We came from Los Angeles where I read the posts from
the list every day for a couple of years.  You guys have been making me
collect like a fiend.  It was easier in LA than here.  Lot of great record
resources there.  Anyway, hi, and it's a pleasure to be part of such a
wonderful group.

Your Pal,

Doug

The show is pretty much Robert's.  It also reflects Dino Stamatopoulis's
humor.  They are the two funniest people I know.  FYI: The song's
arrangement style used during the opening still shots with me, was taken
from one of my records (found through this list) "Bernie Green's More than
you can stand in Stereo" Mr. Peeper's Theme.

I believe Johnny Angel is about a guy who dies in an accident (altho I
think it may be a auto/motorcycle accident). So, they may feel songs
about people dying in accidents are off limits. And maybe they are.

Nope.  It's about a guy that's like an angel to the protagonist.  "Other

I have to say that those opening images of you in your underwear are indelibly
etched in my mind now, forcing me to go into a catatonic state every time I hear
that song or get too close to a rubber animal puppet.

Welcome to the list. Looking forward to hearing your musical observations!

Its not what would be safe, there's a whole lotta them...Its the narrowness
of the songs played that make it so easy for them to step in and say "Dump
this one". It shows how little they know about the songs themselves in many
cases...they merely look at market surveys saying which ones garner the most
favorable response based on a seven second snippet being aired before an
auditorium full of randomly selected (name your age group) listeners.
personally I would hope the entire list of censored songs be never aired
again, they've been played to death, which makes the idea of censoring from a
list of market-censored playlist of records  kinda laffable

Nope.  It's about a guy that's like an angel to the protagonist.  "Other
fellows ask me out for a date/But I don't sit and wait/I'd rather
concentrate on Johnny Angel".  >>

Well said!  Which, in this case, trumps well done

Subject: (exotica) Satellite Radio

I just took a look at the new XM Satellite Radio Program List .... and
I'm a bit excited with the potential here.  100 channels of music to
choose from, and Channel 33 is the lounge channel, titled 'On the
Rocks.'    Here's a sample of that channel's tentative playlist

Dean Martin - 'Ain't That a Kick in the Head'
Louis Prima and Keely Smith - 'That Old Black Magic
Les Baxter's Drums - 'Mood Tattooed'
Rene Touzet - 'Baby Elephant Walk'
Combustible Edison - 'Carnival of Souls'
Juan Esquivel - 'Honky Tonk Cha Cha Cha'
Hugo Montenegro - 'Secret Agent Man'

More information can be found here.

Subject: (exotica) Re: sneak preview of new Whistling Site

hi all -

I've done a complete overhaul of my never finished, crappy whistling website
and have section temporarily up to check if all the links work alright.

The new site will be basically broken down into 5 sections:

1. whistlers
2. my records
3. fred lowery scrap book
4. MP3 sound gallery
5. a link to a Live365 webcast

clicking this link will take you to section two, "my records", which is
pretty much my current collection of whistling and birdsong recordings

http://www.basichip.com/whistling/records/records33.htm

it is broken down into 4 groups, 33s, 45s, 78s and what few CDs there are.

you'll find cover scans, label scans, album info, track lists and soon there
will be selected tracks on MP3 you can access as well as personal reviews
and a "rate-o-record" grading scale.

Keepers of websites who have included Fred Lowery on there pages, feel free
to direct anybody to these listings.  His discography is getting quite long
and I honestly do not think there is any other listing like it in
cyberspace.

The nerds at the Orawhistle mailing list will eat this up

so long for now

some great photos, all scanned from a book on him.

I give all the credit to the book and include links to the site if you want
to purchase it.

I hope this is OK and they don't sue my ass

Subject: Re: (exotica) more Satellite Radio

I read about this in Rolling Stone.  Yes, XM does indeed have eclectic
tastes.  I am excited and fearful in a small way of this at the same time,
though.

I rather like the attitude of the people running XM, I just hope their
concept floats (corporate radio tends to stink, let's do it better), this
could lead to another "WE decide what's hip" type of atmosphere, that could
become confining as what has preceded.

Did anyone else think of "Freberg Underground: Pay Radio" when they read
about Satellite Radio?

At least we don't have to ride around with DirecTV dishes on our cars,

I'm surprised Nina Hagen's New York New York did'nt make the list
but I guess it never did or will get airplay anyway.  They probably
never even heard of it.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Questions

Thanks El Maestro Con Queso for the questions.  You're the best.

Okay here we go.

 1. Are you a musician? Explain
    I'm an actor. (comedian not a comic)  Grew up watching mostly comedies,
spy, sci-fi and  mysteries on TV and guess I like songs that remind me of
old TV and movie background music.  I play piano, sing and used to play sax
in high school.
2. Space-age/exotic LP/CD that turned you on to this?
    My brother gave me Esquivel's Space Age Pop cd, and I found the RCA
Space Age Pop compilations and thought, "Oh my God, I didn't know this stuff
existed" !  I've been searching for stuff like it ever since.
3. This list could help you more by...
    Keep on listing your favorite finds, and telling me where to buy LP's in
my new home area of New Jersey.
 4. Other exotica/things you collect
    Comedian biographies and TV books.  Used to collect comedy posters,
stills and wacky packages.
5. Unrelated music genres/acts you like
    Spy, Crime, Space, Percussion, Wacky Stereo..wait, that's related
musical genres...um...The Flying Karamotzov Brother's juggling act.
6. What are you just dying to tell us?
    Frank Zappa and Leon Redbone are the same person.  Redbone, just got
sick of being Zappa and killed off the character.
7. Initials you prefer, CD or LP?  And why do you?  Is it a sound quality
consideration?  The aesthetics of LP art?  The supposed clarity of CDs?
Tell us more!
    LP.  Can't find the good stuff on CD as much.  Also like to hear the
crackles and pops.  Reminds me of my youth.  Ah, life.
8. Own a fez?  If so, what color, texture and tassel color? Describe it or
other lounge-wear of which you are proud?
    Yes, own a fez.  Was once a member of the L.A. tent "Way Out West" of
"The Sons Of The Desert" Laurel and Hardy group.
9. Shaken or stirred?
    Had my first martini last December at a "TV Funhouse" closing night
party.  I had stirred.  Gave me a headache the next day.  Guess I should
have had shaken.
10. I clean my LPs with ...
    Alcohol and paper towels.  A record store employee in LA told me to use
lighter fluid though.
11. My home page URL is:
    Don't have one.  Give me a break.  I just figured how to post on this
list.  Have had a cd-copying drive for over a year and haven't even been
able to figure out how to copy LPs yet.  I download into a wave file and the
darn software can't find it.  I'm pissed!  Sorry.  Is "pissed" a swear word?
12. I have a Licence To ...
    Drive.  Pretty boring, but wierd question.  Hate to leave on that note
so I'll leave on G Sharp.  Laaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

Your Pal,
Doug
