Madonnas music banned at Texas radio station

Los Angeles, Jan 26: Singer Madonna s music has been banned at a Texas Radio Station.In a statement issued on Tuesday, the representative of the radio station said that the singer s songs would be removed from the station s local programming "indefinitely", following her controversial speech at the Women s March in Washington last week, reports aceshowbiz.com."Banning all Madonna songs at HITS 105 is not a matter of politics, it s a matter of patriotism. It just feels wrong to us to be playing Madonna songs and paying her royalties when the artist has shown un-American sentiments," said Terry Thomas, the station s general manager.He also urged other stations to follow in his footsteps. "If all stations playing Madonna took their lead from us, that would send a powerful economic message to Madonna," Terry said. It s not the first time Madonna received backlash over her speech. Former speaker of the White House, Newt Gingrich thought that the singer should be arrested. Speaking on "Fox & Friends" on Monday, Gingrich compared the singer to protesters who broke windows on Friday during Donald Trump s inauguration. "What you have is an emerging left-wing fascism. She s part of it, and I think we have to be prepared to protect ourselves. The truth is, she ought to be arrested," he said.In response to the backlash about her comments, Madonna said: "I am not a violent person, I do not promote violence and it s important people hear and understand my speech in its entirety rather than one phrase taken wildly out of context."
