No Rock And Roll Fun

HEY HEY HOMOPHOBIA: Why did Bounty Killer cancel his London date? Was it - as the venue say - because he "missed his flight from Jamaica?" Or was it because he knew that Detective Chief Inspector Clive Driscoll of New Scotland Yard’s hate crime unit, the Diversity Directorate, was planning to have a chat with him over his virulently homophobic lyrics? We might never know the truth, but we like to believe that Mr. Killer will find himself being known as the chap who shot his mouth off about how gays should be executed, but was too much of a wuss to go to a place where he might have had to cross a picket line of homosexuals.

If you're pissed off that Mr. Killer's inability to get on that plane has robbed you of a chance to protest, however, there is something you can still do to register your disgust at his stinking lyrics. Return your Bounty Killer records, or demand they be taken off the shelves. And before you chuckle "But I don't have any Bounty Killer records", you might want to check you haven't bought that No Doubt singles collection. Because, unbelievably, Gwen Steffani and the boys chose to work with Bounty Killer on 'Hey Baby.' Their reasons for helping out a man who calls for the slaughter of homosexuals we can't begin to guess. You might want to ask if you want to buy music that will be helping engorge his bank account.
