Tony wins. Who WAS the other guy? (I'm not even really going to acknowledge the Liberals, even though my old man was a practicing member)

In Texas, there's a move afoot to monitor cheerleading routines to ensure that they're not too salacious. And presumably if they are, the team will have the Cheerleader Police modify said routine. Or ban the team. Perhaps a square dance would be more appropriate. Or the polka? One must be careful not to imflame tender passions, not so?

A Benton Harbor middle school marching band has gotten permission to perform "Louie Louie" in a parade this weekend. Superintendent Paula Dawning had sent a letter to parents saying the song's allegedly raunchy lyrics makes it inappropriate.

Dawning changed her decision after hearing from parents who supported their children playing the song.

Richard Berry wrote "Louie Louie" in 1956. It's one of the most recorded songs in history. The best-known, most version was a hit in 1963 for the Kingsmen. The FBI spent two years investigating the lyrics before saying it couldn't understand them.

Two whole YEARS?
