Controversial Songs 5 years, 6 months ago #1

Hi all,

I have a question about a couple of the more controversial songs (given our day and age) in Floyd's library for my fellow tribbers.

We introduced two new songs to the band tonight and some members thought they had meanings or content that was too controversial or innapropriate for live performance. I certainly respect the the feelings of my band mates so I wanted to ask if any of you have had fallout from performing these songs. The tunes in question are One Of My Turns and In The Flesh.

Your input is greatly appreciated,

Dan
One Slip, and down the hole we fall.........

You will notice that when the Aussies do In The Flesh, they stop singing when they get to the bit about "queers and coons".  So you're not the only ones who consider that one controversial.
Be very very careful what you put into that head, because you will never ever get it out. Thomas Cardinal Wolsey (1471-1530)

...... Think Floyd, however, sing In The Flesh true to the original lyrics.

We have had this conversation before and its obvious that it will regularly crop up.
        Can you call yourself a tribute band and then edit and censor an original song?
              Even if times have changed there is nothing wrong with showing todays audience how intolerant people once were !

I can understand that part of In The Flesh may cause offence to some people, but One of my turns? Which part exactly?
