Jethro Tull is off the playlist of one classic rock station after the band's front man criticized displays of the Stars and Stripes.

Ian Anderson made the remarks in an interview published Sunday in the Asbury Park Press.

"I hate to see the American flag hanging out of every bloody station wagon, out of every SUV, every little Midwestern house in some residential area," Anderson was quoted as saying. "It's easy to confuse patriotism with nationalism. Flag waving ain't gonna do it."

The verdict from listeners of WCHR-FM's "Free Beer and Hot Wings" morning show was swift.

"The reaction of our audience has been 99 percent in favor of the ban and 99 percent incredulous that he would say such stupid things," said Phil LoCascio, WCHR program director and on-air personality. "He is a smart guy. As far as we're concerned, this ban is forever."

Well, fuck you, Phil. Ian Anderson had more class in the cancerous lumps they tore out of his throat than you will ever have.
