Elvis Costello stopped playing “Less Than Zero” 15 seconds into the song and performed “Radio, Radio” — a song that NBC had objected to — instead
“He was then banned from appearing on SNL until he made his triumphant return playing the same song backed by the Beastie Boys years later! THAT was punk rock in its purest meaning.”

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.
