Banning Aqualung in the name of Liberty

What did Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson say to get his band's music banned "forever" from New Jersey's WCHR-FM? Something treasonous? Not really: "I hate to see the American flag hanging out of every bloody station wagon, out of every SUV, every little Midwestern house in some residential area. It's easy to confuse patriotism with nationalism." (More excerpts from the scandalous interview here.) The station is unabashedly dubbed "105.7 FM The Hawk." (Via Cursor.)
