Lennon's "Imagine" was banned, I think, because of the "no hell below us, above us only sky" line, which has got to be one of the most over-sensitive reactions in the entire history of censorship (at that's against some stiff competition). One final thing on the subject of the Gulf War and musical censorship. At the time, the big "heavy" bands with political axes to grind were U2 and REM (both on big labels). And yet, during and immediately after the War, they were releasing songs like "Shiny Happy People" and "Even Better Than The Real Thing", which were scarcely as zeitgeist-grabbing as the Drummond/Cauty "war trilogy" (as I have seen it described) of "America No More", "K Sera Sera" and "The Magnificent" (which all, interestingly, commented on different conflicts). And yet the KLF are seen (if at all) as a novelty pop act, and Bono and Stipe meet Popes, presidents and Pavarotti! I'm not slagging off U2 or REM here - I'm just saying that comments and artistic statements on this new War might come from the most unexpected places, and we should stay vigilant and supportive of such things. John Not a preacher, just preaching. "I see an America that's rehabilitated in a way that was unimaginable to me ten years ago. Back then the U. S. was the neighbourhood bully, inept in foreign policy, beating up the wrong guy everywhere. With "The Joshua Tree", we were writiing about Central America and the dark side of the United States. Now America looks smart and, dare I say it, sexy again" - Bono, as quoted on the sleeve of the Jello Biafra album "Machine Gun in the Clown's Hands".
