Radio Station To Defy Gay Dire Straits Ban
. The hit features the word "faggot" three times because writer Mark Knopfler wanted to demonstrate an example of unacceptable behaviour. When a Canadian station broadcast the uncut version in February last year, one person complained about the word in reference to a homosexual � and this week the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council upheld the complaint. The CBSC is a self-regulating body, which seeks to avoid government intervention by making broadcasters adhere to high standards. Although they can't fully ban a song, their ruling amounts to an effective ban. RockAAA.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock. Preview and Purchase Dire Straits CDs |
