I was fired from my unpaid position as a DJ at our university radio
station because of Jethro Tull. Someone complained about the lyrics in
one of the songs I played at lunch time.  My friends were Jethro Tull
fans and I/we figured their enjoyment of the music should override the
one complaint, so they would call and request it.  I obliged and got
fired.

That's kind of strange. What the heck kind of school was that? When I
was going to school, the campus radio station was wild and free. The
Vietnam war was going on which affected the programming but these days
the students are mostly calm and relaxed.

These days, KTUH is still going strong. The main difference is that the
DJ could be speaking Hawaiian and the music is more varied than the
usual college radio fare. My favorite programming is J-Pop.

The university radio station wasn't even radio. It was run from the
residence building and hard wired to the cafeterias, the student pub and
to the residence common rooms.  Years later they went on the air for
real.  My son went to the same university for a year before transferring
to one in Montreal, but  about a dozen years later he moved back this
way for work and volunteered at the radio station.

I can see your way of thinking.
