Real Radio continue to wind me up with an edit of REM's 'Losing My Religion' that cuts the mandolin solo towards the end. They always play this rubbish edit, just as Radio 1 used to play a single edit of 10cc's 'Rubber Bullets'.

But 10cc had some lyrics that were unseemly for radio in the 70's - I don't know about REM's.

Yep, they still won't play "Second Sitting For The Last Supper"

(But they do, frequently, air Elvis Costello's Oliver's Army, which contains the N word)

Thanks for reminding me about Second Sitting For the Last Supper - Classic Rock magazine should have it as onhold music given the amount of non-stories on Axl Rose ('2000 years and he ain't shown yet' is appropriate to the reclusive megalomaniac)!
