Good thing Pierre Jennings is no longer with us. He would have demanded the bigwigs at ABC pull the film
just like he threw his weight around re: a certain Toby Keith song :)
>>Toby Keith says the producer of an ABC 4th of July TV special rescinded an offer to have the country singer perform his current hit after the show's host, World News Tonight anchor Peter Jennings, heard the song and vetoed it. The single, Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American), is an outpouring of grief, anger and frustration Keith wrote in the wake of Sept. 11 and the earlier death of his father. The controversial, patriotic song tells of a veteran who lost his eye in a combat training mission and also features a number of confrontational verses.
(For the record, Mr. Keith is a lifelong Democrat)
petah is right where he needs and deserves to be!
