"Whiskey's Gone" - But The FCC Isn't!

They keep recording songs that the FCC won't live with and if they test them much the FCC will prove it. I have never understood why the artists that write music want to push bad language into their music, does it make them feel big or like hay I got away with it. It doesn't seem like it would give a good impression of that artist or make the people that listen to their music feel good about that person. I guess some radio stations like to push the limit but boy what a price to pay if they get caught plus some listeners simply change the dail to another station and never go back again. I don't think I have ever heard of some one saying hay they play bad language let's keep it here or let's listen to that station maybe the kids will hear something they like, yah right.
 
Well it's because Music is like poetry or literature, its a form of expression. If it calls for a word I say say it! I've never cared for censorship, I think it's only allowing the government to play nanny over my ears, I can do without that. I like real freedom, not some fake version of it.
 
None of it has hurt my ears. Some people just remain in child mode and think they're a child and mommy is going to scream at them if they say something. Some adults never grew up and don't know how to be free, enjoy, and have a good time without getting hung up on antiquated rules and notions.
 
Well maybe, or maybe some people just go out on a limb, push limits, and try to see how far they can go with it. There is a fine line between freedom of speech, freedom of living, freedom of privacy, or any of the other freedoms we have. I am not a judge so I don't know where the line is drawn but I do believe that in a lot of cases it doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell where that line should be or at least be close to it. When some one is in a public place or a public place close by is effected by music with very bad language in it this is clearly over the line. Putting it on a public over the air radio or TV stations is clearly over the line. Some one playing it in a bar, over their cell phones, sound systems, computers, ect... is not over the line so long as they don't have the volume loud or blasting where everyone else is forced to hear it. When a radio station plays this kind of (we will call it material) to the general public who have no idea it's going to happen it often reaches the wrong ears which is generally followed by a quick changing to another station or a quick click of the on-off and mental note of which station it is so as to avoid going back to it in the future. Not what I would think the average radio station would want.
 
Zac Brown Band has a good sound but I don't like their language.

Sugarland does two songs I like, "Baby Girl" and "It Happens", but of course they have to add something to "It Happens" to make it unpleasant.

Brad Paisley messes up one of his songs with a reference to touching a polic officer inappropriately. Or soemthing like that.

Blake Shelton did it in "All About Tonight".

And who was it--Sugarland or Faith Hill--who sang about you-know-what and elbows?
 
Chimp,

Not sure which Brad Paisley song you are referencing. Sugarland is the group that references...elbows in "Down in Mississippi (Up to No Good.)"
