The Last DJ

[aimeeandbeatles]

So I got a hold of this album. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Really good.

The radios banned it for being anti-radio. I mean, look at the chorus of the title track:

Spoiler :

And there goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play
And says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
And there goes your freedom of choice
There goes the last human voice
And there goes the last DJ

And there's also a funny song called Joe. There is a bad word in it, so I changed it.

Spoiler :

Or bring me a girl
They're always the best
You put 'em on stage and you have 'em undress
Some angel [prostitute] who can learn a guitar lick
Hey! Now that's what I call music!

Also, theres a very pretty song called "Dreamville."


The thing I find funny is that they banned it while playing all these pro-violence, pro-sexual songs. Hilarious/

 

[Perfection]

radio plays what radio wants to play, and they think that song will make them look bad then they have the right to not play it.

I know. But I still find it funny. Tom says he was elated when they banned it.

I got hold of The Last BJ.
The radios banned it for "being obscene"
I mean, look at the chorus of the title track:

Spoiler :

And there goes the last BJ
Who pays what he wants to pay
And says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
And there goes your freedom of position
There goes the last disposition
And there goes the last BJ
