Yesterday, we posted about the school superintendent in Benton Harbor who had barred a middle school band from playing the garage-band chestnut 'Louie Louie' in a local parade. The reason? The song's allegedly obscene lyrics.
It looks like all the publicity about the decision was enough to turn the tide. Today, the Detroit Free Press reports that the decision has been reversed, and the band will be able to play 'Louie Louie' as previously arranged. Sometimes the forces of stupidity lose one.
