I was in Ballymena on the day the ELO cancellation was announced. I was listening to Newsbeat on Radio 1....I don't do that anymore.
The 4 Ds comment was even more cringe worthy than reported in this article. It's etched on my mind.

The radio reporter was flabbergasted at the councillor's explanation. He said ELO were the straightest band ever. The councillor , who was a preacher replied, 'To us Rock 'n Roll is the 4 Ds, drink, drugs, debauchery, devil worship and secks'. I screamed at the radio "that's 4 Ds and an S you idiot".

Every national radio station carried it. However every cloud has a silver lining, the DUP lost control of Ballymena council at the next election.
