Also this morning, a major disappointment and loss of respect for one of the radio stations playing Christmas music.
You would find it hard to imagine the necessity of either censoring, or outright banning, any Christmas music, since it's supposed to gear one's self to the holiday. But this morning bears an exception to the rule.
Why did the station find it necessary to play "Weird Al" Yankovich's "Christmas At Ground Zero?" Granted, the song was created prior to 9/11, and no one in his right mind could have predicted the tragedy that occurred that day. But now, with the title "ground zero" having one underlying definition, any use of that term other than the respectful one it now commands makes it sound very disturbing to me.
"Ground Zero" will now always mean the former World Trade Center to me. Let's just say it will always pop up if I play a game of Word Association.
The song needs to be retired from the playlists due to the tragedy. I'm just hoping they don't dare try playing that song in the New York City area.
Highly, highly disrespectful in this day & age.
