Don’t expect to hear Lorde’s mega-hit, “Royals,” in San Francisco during the World Series. With the Giants taking on the Royals in this year’s Fall classic, two San Francisco radio stations have decided to pull the song from their rotation.
KFOG’s program director, Jim Richards, told NBC Bay Area “Why send any positive vibes to Kansas City? Why not give the song a rest? No one is going to get hurt over it.”
Rough week for Lorde huh? First the South Park parody and now SF radio stations are pulling her song.
No offense, Lorde, but for the duration of the World Series, KFOG Radio will be a “Royals”-free zone. We’re sure… http://t.co/7uvseCjb03
