East central Iowa | https://www.kerrang.com/here-are-the-164-songs-that-were-banned-from-american-radio-after-9-11 "Right after the attacks, though, many media companies began censoring art deemed insensitive or anti-American, for fear of offending or upsetting the traumatized nation. One such entity was media corporation Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia), who, three days after the attack, sent a memo to its 1,100+ radio stations with a list of songs that they deemed “lyrically questionable” and insensitive to play following the 9/11 attacks." I think it's okay to list them, there's not much to the article, and yes it looks like there were 165 rather than 164, but that's the title of the article. - 3 Doors Down - Duck and Run
