Dire Strait's song to be censored
As soon as a saw the headline I knew it was for the line 'that little faggot's got a jet airplane, that little faggot's a millionaire'. I can't stand how far political correctness has gone, good thing I'm in the USA and can still get the legit lyrics as I'm not shocked this happened in Canada.

what's next, banning Lola by The Kinks because it's about a tranny ? Or banning Captain Jack by Billy Joel because it speaks of smoking pot and masturbating ? Ridiculous.

On another note, Mark Knopfler is one of THE most under-rated guitarists ever.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

He's definately under-rated, I like lots of his songs, I had tickets to go see him a few years ago but he had to cancel because of a cold, I was sad. Another song that definately has to be up next is Lou Reeds 'The Velvet Underground,' you can't talk about a tranny giving head in the backroom can you?

Obviously there's never been a shooting in Canada, 33 mil people vs 307 mil people some shi*t will happen and I'm pretty sure there been shootings at Canadian school, like the one at the Polytechnique in Quebec, or the Taber Alberta school schooling. Currently the unemployment rate is 9.6% in the U.S not 13%, and in Canada it's 7.6%, so yes it's better, but with roughtly 10 times the population there's obviously more stress on an economy and population.

I guess this is a new release in Canada. Took a while to ban this song.
