There is a distinct lack of Rock the Casbah.

Oh yeah, and Hitler's birthday's on 4/20, not 3/11.

There was also speculation that 311 was a racist band, and inspired bigotry, because K is the 11th letter, and 3 11's is KKK, but that's bullshit. If you listen to any of 311's songs, the lyrics speak for themself that they are very unity oriented. When they played the Warped Tour a few years back, they brought along an Anti-Racism organization that set a booth up in the dealer's alley.

WTH? Wasn't the Oklahoma bombing 4/19 (I remember it because it's my sister's birthday), the same day as the Waco incident some even number of years before?

Yeah, it was, Oklahoma in '95 and Waco in '93. Also, in response to DDramone, "National Weed Day" is also on April 20th, not March 11th.

DDramone you seem determined to find something wrong with the date 3/11.

I think March 11 is the anniversary of the Columbine shooting. Regardless, dude needs to shut up.

The Clash vids, or really anything more than a couple years old, are good in my book. 8)

Yep, that's about the size of it.

...The final nail in the rumor's coffin came when the band recorded the song "Silver," with the following lyrics:

Of the racist institutions, simple minds belong;
not happy being human, no wish to get along.
Little people need exclusions; sucker groups to throng.
It makes them feel special; it makes them feel strong.

"Silver" was on their 1994 album, Grassroots.
