A fool and his money.....

It doesn't though, have you listened to it. "I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more." He may have just frightened her with the knife. He may have topped himself with the knife, the song doesn't elaborate, nor does it go into any kind of detail. In any case, the song has been regularly played on the radio, on karaoke, TV adverts and at large sporting events since its release well over 50 years ago! If it truly is something the human race needs protecting from then surely the damage would already have been done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I think it's an excellent way to get the song sung lustily at every sporting event... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake me up Judy Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I'll bet some of the wags in the crowd will start singing Lou Reed's Berlin in protest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to have emboldened a section of people who have absolutely no idea about anything, dangerous times indeed! I don't think the Principality Stadium in Wales can ban films or TV.

Just like a legal precedent! Victory for who? Who was asking for this? As Declan mentioned it's probably deflection. That said it's a bit of a victory for anyone who doesn't want to listen to shit songs at a rugby game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear, I always thought fascism was associated with the extreme right wing but the socialists are certainly giving them a run for their money. It’s the precedents which are being set. If x is banned here, why not y in another situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also like I said, nobody was asking for this. It's deflection away from the WRU scandal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
