The band, Rage Against the Machine, "...incited mass panic at a British radio show this morning -- when the lead singer unleashed a string of f-bombs during a live on-air performance," according to tmz.com.

The presenters on Radio Five's "5 Live Breakfast" show thought they had an agreement with the group that it would censor the "F" word from their live performance of "Killing in the Name".

Not so much.

TMZ.com writes, "After a series of f-bombs, a female DJ can be heard scrambling to cut the audio..."

Jonathon Brandmeier Fires Back at Those Who Fired Him from WLUP-FM

Wednesday December 16, 2009
We all deal with unemployment differently. Some of us sulk, some of us try to keep ourselves busy so we don't think about it. Jonathon Brandmeier, recently let go from WLUP-FM/Chicago, just posted a rap video which takes shots at the radio suits who fired him along with his current predicament.

It goes in part:

"Johnny B.'s the best and he's got awards to prove it,
But now the suits say it's cheaper to play music.
Hey, monkey: push a button and play another song,
Talent on the radio just doesn't belong.
Enjoy this crap while you can 'cause it won't last long."
