Good move.

If they can't play the song as it was intended to be heard, it's best not played at all.

PC sucks and censorship sucks even more :2 cents:

Time to drink some canadian beer - smoke some weed and blast some money for nothing - I know my plans for the weekend ;) lol

as a gay homosexual I say play the song, whatever

That's the airplay version that most people heard, and made it to number one in the US. The entire verse is gone. It was the version released on single here in the US, and is on most of the compilations.

The MTV video has the verse, as does the original Brothers in Arms CD (where the song is over eight minutes long). What's amazing is all these people not noticing the verse was removed from the versions that got played the most over 25 years ago.

African American bird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

African American bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free

African American bird fly, African American bird fly
Into the light of the dark African American night.

Really sucks. That is a Classic. What's next? The Bible?

That things been rewritten and censored for centuries. Old Testament vs New being the big one. Childrens bibles being another example.

It actually is a big fucking deal. A win for the cause of censorship is always a major loss for those who support freedom of expression. Certainly anyone who is actually in the adult industry or whose livelihood is aided from the avails of it should care a great deal whenever censorship scores a win.

Bid deal indeed.

a faggot is a small bundle of sticks, they should just lie and say they were talking about a small bundle of sticks..

some radio station should make a mock song called "Those little faggots" and play it 24/7 until they reverse the decision

embarassing - the gay rights groups are as upset about the censorship as anybody. not a single members of that board had any clue about the context that 'faggots' was used in in that song.

as bad as Canada is the US might be worse when it comes to censorship - Canada has a bug up its' ass about political correctness, if there's one person out there from an ethnic, relgious, sexual orientation group who might get butthurt by something everybody has to say they're sorry and it won't happen again. The US on the other hand in many states would put you in jail for producing and selling vanilla porn. That doesn't happen in Canada.
