Texas Radio Station Bans Madonna Over Women’s March Speech
Madonna spoke at the Women’s March On Washington this weekend, dropping quite a few F-bombs on live television and admitting that she has “thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.” In response, Billboard reports, a Texas radio station has decided to ban Madonna songs from their programming “indefinitely.”
“Banning all Madonna songs at HITS 105 is not a matter of politics, it’s a matter of patriotism,” says Terry Thomas, general manager of Texarkana’s HITS 105. “It just feels wrong to us to be playing Madonna songs and paying her royalties when the artist has shown un-American sentiments. If all stations playing Madonna took their lead from us, that would send a powerful economic message to Madonna.”
Yeah, I’m sure Madonna’s really hurting over this.
