    or by atleast one radio station


    “I hate to see the American flag hanging out of every bloody station wagon, out of every SUV, every little Midwestern house in some residential area,” Ian Anderson was quoted as saying in an interview published in the Asbury Park Press.

    “It’s easy to confuse patriotism with nationalism.”

    The verdict from the radio station was swift.

    “The reaction of our audience has been 99% in favour of the ban and 99% incredulous that he would say such stupid things,

    As far as we’re concerned, this ban is forever.” - quote from radio director

    Censorship is alive and well in the USA. That whole "Land of the free" shyte is only on the postcards.
