Don't listen to the Clash, you'll get arrested (in the UK anyway) ...

Didn't see this posted anywhere else on the site (apologies if it was). From the BBC:

Terror fear over Clash fan's song

A phone salesman was hauled off a London-bound plane by police after his taste in music aroused terrorism fears. Harraj Mann, 23, asked a taxi driver to play The Clash's ''London Calling'' through the vehicle's stereo.

But the cabbie rang police after he heard the song which includes the line: "War is declared and battle come down"

Police said Mr Mann, from Hartlepool, was released without charge after his arrest on board a Bmi plane at Durham Tees Valley Airport. Durham Police said a security check revealed he did not pose a threat.

A spokeswoman also said that it was not just the music Mr Mann requested, but the "overall impression" he gave that aroused the taxi driver's suspicion.

She said: "By the time it was established the man did not pose a security risk, the plane had taken off.

"Safety is paramount and we respond to concerns from members of the public in the way they would expect us to.

"In this case the report was made with the best of intentions and we would not want to discourage people from contacting us with genuine concerns regarding security."

Mr Mann, a mobile phone salesman of Indian origin, missed his flight to Heathrow last Thursday because of the security check and took a taxi back to Hartlepool. He said he was questioned under the Terrorism Act.

He told BBC Radio Five Live: "I said to staff you've taken me off my flight due to my taste in music, in a more colourful way.

"I mean where does it stop? What if I was wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt, what if I was wearing odd socks, you know.

"I mean obviously the political climate these days is like walking on egg shells, but I mean there's caution and then there's taking it to the point where it's absurd and ludicrous."

The contentious lyrics by the 1970s Clash song include the lines: "London calling from the faraway towns, now war is declared and battle come down.

"London calling to the underworld, come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls."

In June 2004, Mike Devine, 35, from Bristol, was questioned by Special Branch after he had sent text messages of the lyrics from The Clash's song Tommy Gun. They included the words "gun" and "jet airliner".

=========================================

Of note, I think: A spokeswoman also said that it was not just the music Mr Mann requested, but the "overall impression" he gave that aroused the taxi driver's suspicion.

And: Mr Mann, a mobile phone salesman of Indian origin

In saner times the taxi driver would rightly have been nicked for wasting police time. (Or he could just have been French and exacting a terrible revenge ...)

Madonna - Material Girl

Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me

I think they’re o.k.

If they don’t give me proper credit

I just walk away

They can beg and they can plead

But they can’t see the light, that’s right

’cause the boy with the cold hard cash

Is always mister right, ’cause we are

Chorus:

Living in a material world

And I am a material girl

You know that we are living in a material world

And I am a material girl

Some boys romance, some boys slow dance

That’s all right with me

If they can’t raise my interest then i

Have to let them be

Some boys try and some boys lie but

I don’t let them play

Only boys who save their pennies

Make my rainy day, ’cause they are

(chorus)

Living in a material world [material]

Living in a material world

(repeat)

Boys may come and boys may go

And that’s all right you see

Experience has made me rich

And now they’re after me, ’cause everybody’s

(chorus)

A material, a material, a material, a material world

Living in a material world [material]

Living in a material world

Tee hee... :o

Well if you fly BMI.... :o Fly Virgin Richard loves the tunes!

Billy Bragg - New England

I was twenty one years when I wrote this song

I’m twenty two now, but I won’t be for long

People ask when will you grow up to be a man

But all the girls I loved at school

Are already pushing prams

I loved you then as I love you still

Tho I put you on a pedestal,

They put you on the pill

I don’t feel bad about letting you go

I just feel sad about letting you know

I don’t want to change the world

I’m not looking for a new england

I’m just looking for another girl

I don’t want to change the world

I’m not looking for a new england

I’m just looking for another girl

I loved the words you wrote to me

But that was bloody yesterday

I can’t survive on what you send

Every time you need a friend

I saw two shooting stars last night

I wished on them but they were only satellites

Is it wrong to wish on space hardware

I wish, I wish, I wish you’d care

I don’t want to change the world

I’m not looking for a new england

I’m just looking for another girl

Jack Johnson - Times like these..
