One of my favorite (and very political) bands (Spearhead) has had one of their songs banned from U.S. radio stations. I think one commercial radio station (93.3 The WAVE radio, San Francisco ) is giving it air time. Call em up and request it if you like it!!! (while I don't agree with some of their views, they still rock and the man can sing).

Bomb The World

PLEASE TELL ME THE REASON
BEHIND THE COLORS THAT YOU FLY
LOVE JUST ONE NATION
AND THE WHOLE WORLD WE DIVIDE
YOU SAY YOUıRE "SORRY"
SAY, "THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE"
BUT GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE THEM
WHO CANNOT RAISE THEIR VOICE

(CHORUS)
WE CAN CHASE DOWN ALL OUR ENEMIES
BRING THEM TO THEIR KNEES
WE CAN BOMB THE WORLD TO PIECES
BUT WE CANıT BOMB IT INTO PEACE
WHOA WE MAY EVEN FIND A SOLUTION
TO HUNGER AND DISEASE
WE CAN BOMB THE WORLD TO PIECES
BUT WE CANıT BOMB IT INTO PEACE

VIOLENCE BRINGS ONE THING
MORE MORE OF THE SAME
MILITARY MADNESS
THE SMELL OF FLESH AND BURNING PAIN
SO I SING OUT TO THE MASSES
STAND UP IF YOUıRE STILL SANE!
TO ALL OF US GONE CRAZY
I SING THIS ONE REFRAIN

(CHORUS)

AND I SING POWER TO THE PEACEFUL
LOVE TO THE PEOPLE YıALL
POWER TO THE PEACEFUL
LOVE TO THE PEOPLE YıALL

--------------
Bomb The World (Armageddon Version)

I DONıT UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE REASON WHY
YOU TELLINı US ALL THAT WE NEED TO UNIFY
RALLY ROUND THE FLAG
AND BEAT THE DRUMS OF WAR
SING THE SAME OLD SONGS
YA KNOW WE HEARD 'EM ALL BEFORE
YOU TELLINı ME ITıS UNPATRIOTIC
BUT I CALL IT WHAT I SEE IT
WHEN I SEE ITıS IDIOTIC
THE TEARS OF ONE MOTHER
ARE THE SAME AS ANY OTHER
DROP FOOD ON THE KIDS
WHILE YOUıRE MURDERINı THEIR FATHERS
BUT DONıT BOTHER TO SHOW IT ON CNN
BROTHERS AND SISTERS DONıT BELIEVE THEM
ITıS NOT A WAR AGAINST EVIL
ITıS REALLY JUST REVENGE
ENGAGED ON THE POOREST BY THE SAME RICH MEN
FIGHT TERRORISTS WHEREVER THEY BE FOUND
BUT WHY YOU NOT BOMBING TIM MCVEIGHıS HOMETOWN
YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU WANT PROPAGANDA TELEVISION
BUT ALL BOMBING IS TERRORISM

(CHORUS)
WE CAN CHASE DOWN ALL OUR ENEMIES
BRING THEM TO THEIR KNEES
WE CAN BOMB THE WORLD TO PIECES
BUT WE CANıT BOMB IT INTO PEACE
WHOA WE MAY EVEN FIND A SOLUTION
TO HUNGER AND DISEASE
WE CAN BOMB THE WORLD TO PIECES
BUT WE CANıT BOMB IT INTO PEACE

Hello RRR,

How about Midnight Oil? Are they still around? Peter Garett used to be very politically outspoken when I was growing up. Has he spoken up about the war at all?

Much Love,

Heidi

Yes yes, Peter has now taken up politics!! which is great news for Australia. Midnight Oil have also done alot of tours and performances with Spearhead. I haven't herd anything he has said about the war but I'm sure it would be along the same lines as the above song.
