Anyone know why Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk" was banned from radio airplay?

[CanuckAmok]

Someone mentioned this the other day, and I'm curious if it ever was, and if it was, why the heck?!

IMHO, I think everything Fleetwood Mac ever did except Tusk should be banned from radio airplay.

1. Because it was mixed so wrong!

You definitely can't hear the vocals on any of it.

2. Pretty sure they played it..

... here in Dallas. As for banning, wouldn't that be because of the "tusk" they were talking about ?

3. Love, love, love that song.

4. Because it's a terrible song

:shrug:

5. "Tusk" was reportedly Mick Fleetwood's nickname for his schlong. n/t

6. I've heard it on the radio fairly recently.

I don't think it's banned.

7. It's very long... so that might be one reason

it's not played very often. Commerical radio is mostly commercials now anyway.

8. I've heard it on the radio, though not very often

I've never heard anything about it being banned though :shrug:.

9. Because the fucking USC Trojans' marching band played on it??

That would do it for me!
