Yeah. A real shame.

@Motorod Scanners today can usually only tell you when there's a lot of activity on a frequency, not what it is. Almost all police services use encrypted radio now. Also, scanners cannot broadcast, though there are radios which can, which also have a scanning mode. Broadcasting without a licence, or on those particular frequencies (especially deliberate jamming noise) is a federal crime.

These should be known to anyone considering those particular points above.

@Motorod Such a shame that they wouldn't pay to get Leonard Cohen's version on the soundtrack album, considering how prominently it features in the movie, instead only having Concrete Blonde's cover from deep in the credits. I was so disappointed, that song was the reason I bought the tape. @Caution

@ZenHeathen @Motorod Kinda yes, kinda no, though. The Concrete Blonde version was commissioned because the someone thought the OG version was too dark, but it played during the final broadcast of his show in the film…except that in some later video releases they swapped it to the credits. You can also find a Beastie Boys track that was cut from later releases in some bootlegs.
