I can imagine Gord talking to the radio programmers,"What do you mean you wont play a song about a riot?" 
"It won't cause another one,I promise!" "Cross my heart!" :D
On another song,"Blackberry Wine" I'm surprised in 1982 parents didn't complain about a song/video about wine being played on Mtv.
(Of course that only would have happened if the LP had been successful.  )

I know in 67 Jannis Ian released Society's Child witch was banned but I read or heard a sttaion in Atlanta GA was fire bombed for playing the song. perhaps they weren't overreacting though if BDIJ wasn't maybe Gord would of gotten noticed sooner I'm sure sometimes when enough attention is created people will wanna buy the single or even the album. maybe The Smothers Brothers should of had him on their show. 1 extra headache for CBS.
