Jimmy I still remember your ultra religious father busting into your room as we listened *to my tape of AC/DC and him yelling at us how "we" don't listen to that kind of music in his house.

I also recall within a year your older sister was knocked up as a teen, and you went to juvenile detention not long after and seemed to never stay out for very long.

I'm sorry for the evil I brought upon your family for playing Highway to Hell for 40 seconds that day...

Kids these days probably don't even remember cancelling ~~French~~ FREEDOM fries for the same reason.

Those Dixie Chicks met the same fate as Ellen once she came out officially. People who loved them for their music turned on them so hard...

I'm not from the US but remember the Freedom Fries weirdness. Are they still around? If not, how long did they last?

It never actually caught on in the mainstream, but it was widely reported on. Kind of like the movement to rename french toast or any of the other manufactured outrages one finds on cable news here. It started after the French objected to the invasion of Iraq, but was only really in the media for a couple years at most.
