Article is confusing

 * 1) If "The Addicted Man" is an anti-drug song, why did Parlophone withdraw it during an anti-drug moral panic?
 * 2) Why did Juke Box Jury vilify the song? Did they think the song was part of the anti-drug moral panic?
 * 3) Why did Juke Box Jury replace their vilification with a cartoon?
 * 4) What does the Smoke's "My Friend Jack" have to do with any of this?
 * 5) Why did Maurice Kinn attack the BBC for replacing the vilification of the "The Addicted Man" with a cartoon?
 * Maybe you know the answers. Nosferattus (talk) 04:12, 18 June 2023 (UTC)


 * 1) Song was misinterpreted as being pro-drugs, which influenced Juke Boy Jury's review.
 * 2) The BBC started Juke Box Jury late, with a cartoon in its place.
 * 3) My Friend Jack was another casualty, possibly worth noting for context.
 * 4) Kinn believed it hypocritical to lay into that one record when so many of the songs of that era were also about drugs.-- Laun chba ller 07:52, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Now I'm even more confused! If the Juke Box Jury review vilified the song for being pro-drugs, why did the BBC replace the review with a cartoon? Didn't the BBC agree with that stance (at least according to Maurice Kinn)? And how did Maurice Kinn know about the review even though it was replaced with a cartoon? And why wasn't Maurice Kinn happy that they replaced the review with a cartoon? The section as written doesn't make any sense. Thanks for trying to improve it by fillng in the missing details!
