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. Breathing isn't on the list but how's this for silliness? They've included Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight". Well I don't know about you but whenever I listen to that song I'm always terrified I'm going to get hit by an Al-Hussein ;-) Hmmm.... I think I may have the dubious distinction of being the first person to make a reference to the gulf war on gaffa. Sorry.

I just played Army Dreamers last night on my radio show along with Gun Shy by 10000 Maniacs....Im not in the U.K. but this is quite incredible news, and almost hard to believe!!! No one called in to complain - not that anyone listens anyway :) What is the world coming to - complete chaos when Kate is banned from the radio....*sigh* Harg Kirstin Hargie hargieka@clutx.clarkson.edu

This is pretty ironic considering that the last Homeground wonders of the US, "What ever happened to the land of free-speech?" Did everyone miss the fact that the "nightmare" in my last post is actually a description of an honest to goodness KT appearance? I'm dissapointed! "Don't drive too slowly."
