Listed below is a list of other anti-war songs that just aren't being played by the Clear Channels, Viacoms, Infinities, Emmis', Radio Ones and other corporate media outlets of the world.. Call up your local station and ask why? If I missed any songs please drop me a line mrdaveyd@aol.com We should also take time to note that while many of these corporate media outlets have refused to play these songs, some of them mainly Clear Channel have gone on to sponsor Pro-War rallies using their radio stations to spread the word and their concert venues to host the rally...You can peep the story here: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/showcase/chi-0303190157mar19.story

That wouldn't be so bad until you note not only the absecene of many of these songs.. but also the fact that last week the radio show Democracy Now reported that singer/spoken word artist Ani Defranco performed at a Clear Channel in NJ and was forbidden from giving out anti-war material during her show.
