Billie s political lyrics have always been more about the injustices and problems in politics rather than point of views and political candidates. preach, I was a little right of the Tea Party in my political views when AI came out and I still loved it even though I disagreed with literally everything in that album at the time.

Imagine Billie going: 'I feel strongly about this issue, but I've gotta make sure I present the argument from a neutral standpoint so that I don't convince anyone to agree with me' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like to categorize myself as any one party; I personally think that the two-party system is bullshit. I have views that could be classed as "liberal" and those that could be termed more "conservative". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough, I rang a separate station and it turns out the stations are actually combined! They have 2 different numbers but the same reception. @BillyjoelxkidXx So they are really clueless.

SomeNimrod97 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 As I read this thread, I just have these 2 lines of lyrics going round my head. If these 2 lines end up being the opening lines of the song, I will go mad in 10 days. "Bang bang goes a loaded gun. Some motherfucker's got me on the run."

Billie Hoe Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I just emailed the radio station of my area as well and told them what's happening. I hope I will get a (positive) response very soon. I don't want to be left out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
