America "A Horse With No Name"

After one Cleveland radio station pulled the Christmas song "Baby, It's Cold Outside" after listeners complained that its lyrics promote date rape, a Louisville radio station promises to play the song all day on Christmas. To each their own, I suppose. In the pre-#MeToo era of 1971, some radio stations banned America's "A Horse With No Name" for its alleged reference to heroin usage. Despite that, the song went to #1 on the Hot 100 and #3 on the Adult Contemporary Charts.
