kcchief4lif 910 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Gone, apparently, is a version of “Rock ‘N’ Roll Part 2” by Gary Glitter. The choices are: 1. “Hey, Kansas City!” by David George & A Crooked Mile 2. “Song 2” by Blur 3. “Let Me Clear My Throat” by DJ Kool There’s been no official word on why the change is being made, but it could be because Glitter (real name: Paul Gadd) was sentenced in February to 16 years in prison in England for sexual abuses between 1975 and 1980. All involved underage girls. In 2006, the NFL reportedly asked teams to stop playing Glitter’s version of the song and the Chiefs switched to a cover version by the Tube Tops. However, the vice president of business affairs for the American Society of Composers, Artists and Publishers told The Star that year, “If it sounds like Gary Glitter’s song, we would credit Gary Glitter. From our standpoint it makes no difference who the performer is, it’s who the composer and publisher is.” Voting for the new song opened at noon on Friday and will continue until 11:59 p.m. on Aug. 31. Chiefs fans were not happy about the news. http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/for-petes-sake/article31752291.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eraser 722 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 KC beat Seattle and NE last season. Other than the OL, they are competitive on every level. Can they win with this OL? Not unless they get a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I'd rather the Chiefs not pay royalties to a child molester. Fans will get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
