I'm still waiting for the "Manilow bomb". Both Ken and Irwin have crossed that line before. Though I think Ken only played the jingles medley.

You mean you can't cross a line to drop a bomb? I would think you'd ALWAYS want to cross a line before dropping a bomb.
If you really wanted to do it, you could just pull up a song from an archive, right? You don't need no stinkin' library, do you?

Funny, I just have this sudden desire to deck Mr. Harper.
But the better angels of my nature whisper, "First Amendment, boys, First Amendment." Everyone's entitled to their opinion, including the mouthbreathing yahoos.

Roy Harper writes a song about violence committed against innocent people in the name of Islam -- and for that Sean Daily labels him a "yahoo" and feels inclined to physically assault him. But Sean asserts his respect for "freedom of speech" (somewhat grudgingly it would appear). On the subject of Islamic extremism in its more violent forms, however, Sean has no comment, and doesn't appreciate others offering critical views. They deserve to be "decked." Why not beheaded?
Thu. 2/7/08 3:58pm
From:
Sean Daily
You have a point, Irwin, and I apologize. That was out of line. My only explanation - not excuse, but explanation - for such a comment is that I was having a bad day. Problem is, if Harper had been standing there, I WOULD have hit him, and things would have gone to a very bad place very quickly.
Harper does have his right to free speech, and I shouldn't have been so flip about it. My mother likes to say, "I disagree with him, but I'll give my life for his right to say it." That's something I thought I'd learned.
You were right to call me on that.
But I still think the song was bigoted. Not every Muslim is violent. If it were, and if every Muslim was an honor-killer and suicide bomber, then the streets of America would be awash with blood. Keep in mind that there are a lot of Muslims here. What I objected to was his broadbrushing the ENTIRE religion.
Or maybe I'm wrong, and I heard the song completely wrong, and I made myself sound like a complete jerk. Wouldn't be the first time.
Next time, I'll learn something from this, and I'll make my objections known without threats of physical violence.

Sean Daily
Actually, scratch that. I DID make myself sound like a complete jerk, no matter if I was right or not - kinda like all that righteous violence that Harper was objecting to. Oy...

Thank you for having the courage to play Roy Harper's "Black Cloud of Islam". Those lyrics give me chills. Pay no mind to those accuplaylisters who get all worked up, who NEED to be offended, who wish to censor. You have allowed great art to stand by itself without apology. Go Irwin!
