A CTE teacher's blog about teaching, sports & entertainment marketing, life, and other assorted topics. A long, circuitous career path has now found me teaching Sports & Entertainment Marketing in North Carolina. I was in the Marines and the TV business prior to teaching--told ya it was circuitous! And yes, I do ramble!

Money For Nothing
Nothing like a good dose of censorship, Canadian-style, eh?
Dire Straits' hit song "Money for Nothing" has been banned across Canada's radio stations due to offensive language. Several times in the song, the singer references rock stars using a word for homosexuals that begins with "f."
This song's been out since 1985, and I'm not sure that I've ever heard anyone complain about this song before now.
To the lone Canadian radio station that refuses to give in to the government's attempt at censorship, I salute you!
