Radio, Lyrics, Art...
I've heard more and more advertising for HD Radio lately, so I decided to check it out. My research inevitably let me to Wikipedia, where I stumbled on an interesting list. In the wake of 9/11/01, Clear Channel apparently distributed a list of "songs with questionable lyrics" that radio stations may not want to play.
This reminds me of our recent trip to the Experience Music Project in Seattle, where I learned that there was an FBI investigation into the lyrics of "Louie, Louie." So much for the innocent song we played in the Horlick pep band - I wonder if the trombone section still plays the random intro I "composed" back in my music theory days?
The coolest part of EMP was easily the DoubleTake art exhibit - which was apparently sourced entirely from Paul Allen's private collection. Let me know if this interests you, I bought the book and would be happy to loan it out.
