Last night I am headed home, listening to the local CR station. Dire straits' "money for nothing" is on.

Radio: The little faaaarrrwwww with the earring and the mink coat, yeah, buddy, that's his own hair...

Me huh? did the CD skip?

a few seconds later.....

Radio: The little farrrwww got his own jet airplane....

Me: Fukkk, you can't even say faggot on the radio no more. They blurred it out.

[BSmack]

Dire Straits, the 80s Eagles.

Well damn, this doesn't help Michael Sam's case "out" at all. Fuggin' PC police.

Nobody asked your opinion, you fucking farrrrwwww.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

Just kidding. You're okay with me, Jay.

[Jay in Phoenix]

That's cool Shlomarty, that was the first time I burst out laughing today. Nice job.

PC nazis have taken over classic rocks stations too.

They've been doing that for years. The first and most memorable example being The Steve Miller Bands Big Ol' Jet Airliner

"cause I don't want to get caught up in any of that funky shit goin' down in the city"

They took out "shit" and substituted "kicks" and it didn't and still doesn't work.

Just like using a period at the end of a thread title doesn't work either... word to some of the frequent offenders idiots who quite often or almost always do that. You know who you are. Get a fucking clue about message board etiquette or quit starting threads.

I remember when TV variety shows like Ed Sullivan wanted groups to alter their lyrics. Here's more:

You can but you just have say it with a cock in your mouth so that you can prove that you aren't homophobic or anything. It's just a simple formality.

You aren't homophobic...are you?

[War Wagon]

Jet Airliner - a really good, but not great, song. I had to see what they had to sing in latter, more PC days.

Yep, it's still "shit"

edit that, mouth breathing, tongue twisted motherfuckers.

[Terry in Crapchester]

If you haven't noticed, they did the same thing with Pink Floyd's "Money" awhile back. The word "bullshit" got erased.

Much more conspicuous by its absence than it ever was when properly included in the song, at least imho.

Another example: Charlie Daniels Band's "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" -- I've heard the devil referred to as a "son of a gun" as well as "son of a bitch."

And if memory serves, back when "Money for Nothing" first got released, they also released a "radio-friendly" version which omitted the "little faggot" verse entirely.

You get really worked up about some awfully stupid shit.

That is a brilliant observation. Dude is still saying faggot, it's just muffled a bit by a mouth full of most likely balck cock.

Not "worked up", it's just a pet peeve.

And I like kicking cockaholic around every chance I get, though if we were to ever meet in person, I gladly buy the first round. Same with most everybody here other than TVO. I'd ignore him in person just as studiously as I do on the board.

Good calls by TiC, btw.

[Derron]

We should burn all our Dire Straits LPs.

Right. Because that would get over on the stations who blur it out.

[Screw_Michigan]

Bitching about FM stations censoring the "faggot" in Money for Nothing is like bitching about the noise dial-up modems make when getting online.

[BSmack]

Hey Screwey,

My son's favorite song in the Universe is LCD Soundsystem's "Pow Pow." Seriously.

[Screw_Michigan]

I guess he's going to do some album based off sounds from the NYC subway. I want some of his acid.

Anyway, I'm going to see Miniature Tigers on Tuesday and Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr in three weeks. Gonna be epic.
