Can we shame sports arenas into not playing the stupid rock n roll part II song?

Time to take "Bang the Drum All Day" back from Lambeau Field.

I remember these accusations first surfacing 15+ years ago and had long assumed—when I thought about Gary Glitter at all—that he'd already been busted.

I think more than a few arenas have stopped playing "Rock N Roll Part II" but yeah, it's baffling that not all of them have. Maybe not even the majority have.

There's a Gary Glitter Bot on Twitter that'll retweet any mention of him and me & my friends occasionally tweet "Gary Glitter: Child Diddler" to get it retweeted. I don't know how or if we're helping the victims at all with that. :-\

It's not like you were helping them by not tweeting "Garry Glitter: Child Diddler"

"We Are The Champions" makes sense, I suppose, but it doesn't need to be played when Arizona beats Nashville on a Wednesday in January.
