Madonna songs banned from Texas radio stationA radio station in Texas has banned Madonna's music from its airwaves following her speech at the recent Women's March on Washington. At the historic event, the 'Like A Prayer' legend addressed the crowd and made her feelings about President Donald Trump very clear: "Yes, I am angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. But I know that this won't change anything. We can not fall into despair." Texas's HITS 105 issued a statement via the station's general manager, Terry Thomas, about the decision to pull her music from its playlists, which reads: “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. If all stations playing Madonna took their lead from us, that would send a powerful economic message to Madonna.” Follow us: @Pressparty on Twitter / Pressparty on Facebook.
