A man was removed from a plane, detained and questioned because a taxi driver heard him singing along to London Calling. This is kind of ridiculous, isn't it?

LMAO...yeah, and I bet he didn't get his ticket price refunded either.

I hate it when people sing in public, especially when they sing shitty songs from the 70's. Good one for London, if they hadn't stopped him, he might have gotten on the plane. And with a trapped audience like that, he could have sung anything, even "Anarchy in the UK" or . . .
*shudders*
"Bohemian rhapsody"

Actually I think singing Bohemian rhapsody out loud is considered a crime in every civilized nation. At least it should be.

Time for the lawyers

And on the plane, there'd have been no way to stop him or even get away. He could have kept going for hours about the "little sillhouette of a man", with his trapped audience slowly going insane around him.

Oh, dear God, they're not gonna sing too, are they?

I think strangling him would probably fall under the category of justifiable homicide in that situation.

if only they were going to sing ...

Imagine what else he could ahve sung, Tommy Gun, Guns of Brixton, I forght the law...

Oh, dear God, they're not gonna sing too, are they?

Of course thay are! Didn't you watch that documantary, Ally Macbeal?

While the stupid terror laws are a worry (I go on holiday in a few weeks and Iv got a foreign sounding name) a greater worry is the fact that retarded people are allowed to drive taxis. Its amazing the driver didnt drown in a pool of his own drool and crash, killing them both.

Did you say shitty?? As much as it is annoying for people to sing songs out in public i rather they sing that then shitty mainstreem music, you know the really shit untalented music thats in the charts these days.

Well, if they did that for having the Clash, remind me not to bring any Gwar CDs along if I go to England.

Punk still rocks :D

Well, I will have to give the song some credit: 26 years on, and it is still stickin' it to the man and defying public authority.
