"Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved..."- Alice In Chains
Clear Channel Communications, parent company of over 1,170 radio stations in 47 states, has issued the following list of 'insensitive songs' to it's radio stations, and have asked their stations to refrain from playing them. This, of course, was done in the wake of the World Trade Center attacks which took place on September 11th, 2001. CCC wanted to prevent their stations from inadvertently playing any music which might offend anybody or which might cause a grieving family member to 'go over the edge' after hearing a song that reminded them of their late loved ones.
