Rage Against the Machine tried to perform with upside-down American flags hanging from their amps and were escorted out of the building immediately after their first song
“The upside-down flags were meant to be a protest of the show’s host that week: then–presidential candidate Steve Forbes. The crew removed the flags before the show went live, but the band was not invited back in to perform a second song or seen onstage for the goodbyes at the end of the show.”

You Americans... Isn't SNL on at midnight? Yet saying "f@#k" is apparently so controversial you can lose your job? Grow up America.

Augusta,
Even Izismile censred my typing. Naked women photos and more, but can't even type a swear word on this site without being edited... Proven my point now, haven't I? Pathetic.

I suspect, in those days, BBC was just as strict.

Remember that Garrett Morris came out, looking like he was going to slam the Rolling Stones for Some Girls, which was, believe it or not, controversial, then asked "where are these girls?" That created lots of upset letter writers and such, and he still catches cr#p for it to this day.
