I disagree with almost everything you've written there, but very much like the cut of your jib.
"No one listens to lyrics" is, at the very least, a new gambit in this particular culture war, and you are to be commended for bringing that to the table. :thumbsup:
I personally like the old version of the song, it reminds me of being absolutely hammered in somewhere like the Lion & Lobster about 20 odd years ago.
Still agree with not playing that version on R1 though.
I wish Radio 1 would play Dirty Old Town more than they do,m it's a cracker. Or at least I imagine they don't play it, I never listen. But the point stands regardless.
Also I'm not sure if the "the songs not homophobic, it just has homophobic words in it" argument holds much water in the context of whether or not it should be being played to kids 48 times a day on repeat.
Anyway Radio 1 has been officially shite since Mark & Lard packed it in. Yes, I'm 41.
It's been censored in some places for the last 10-15 years. Radio 1 have been censoring stuff since the 60s.
I fail to see any reason to get titsy about the decision now.
The Stanley is obviously great but so is the Battle
5 minutes walk from Fishersgate and 10 mins walk from Portslade Stations.

Gutted to see that Strictly, that last bastion of common sense in a world gone PC, that enclave of what's right in a BBC of right-on, has finally succumbed to the luvvies.
And they had ****ing Harry on it as well, the ginger turncoat.
How's it going down?
I've just spilled 2/3 of a can of Galway Bay Oregon Grown IPA 6% on the floor whilst dealing with a shouting child. The remaining 1/3 is delish.
Quick (Jack) straw poll - how many of you lot buy used bodies and lenses? And if so is there anything more to the decision beyond 'you get more for your money'?
