WTH..... my local country radio station here in Casper WY was playing a Kid Rock song "Cocaine and Whiskey" earlier today. I am not a Kid Rock fan so forgive me if I got the tiltle wrong. Anyway, when the lyrics got to the the cocaine and whiskey part... they bleeped out cocaine. How is it we can live in this modern world and they would bleep out the cocaine part but not the whiskey part? Also, seems to me that nearly most of the new and a lot ofthe old counrty songs should have a ton of words bleeped out........

Political correctness once again rears its ugly head.
Bet it's an attempt to not offend their advertisers. UGH.
If they don't want to play the song as it was intended, they should just skip playing it at all period. Just hope this station never tries to play the song "Cocaine", (written by JJ Cale, popularized by Clapton), since that word occurrs about once every 10 seconds or more during the whole song!

Our local Classic Rock station for some reason plays a "G Rated" version of Jet Airliner, as performed by the Steve Miller Band.

"I don't want to get caught up in any of that funky sh*t going down in the city" is changed to where the word "kicks" is substituted for the naughty word. Makes my hair stand on end whenever i hear it played. It's just not right, and anyone who'd actually be offended by something that unimportant should find something more important to worry about.

Copperhead Row made it to the top of the country charts a while back. Have the ultra conservatives gained that much ground since then?

Censorship at it's finest... Pretty much like TV, they can say &%#(, but not (#$&, while on another channel they can say @*&$, but not !^&$^, or !)#^, but not $^%#%. They can talk all day about feminine care products, zit creme or wiener meds, but the world would come to a grinding halt if they uttered the word (I better not say it :D)

Why don't you give your local station a call and ask them? May be just a personal option done by the DJ or the station owner.

If that is the case, no one here is going to know why they chose to bleep that word only.

They've done the same thing with a lot of classic rock songs. Songs they've been playing for 3 and 4 decades with the same words, but all of a sudden those words are being bleeped out. It really ****** me off and I want to **** everytime I hear the bleeps.

I don't really think that the people that would be offended by these words are listening to this music anyway, I'm pretty sure they're listening to gospel music or religious talk radio.

Even if someone hears something that might be offensive to them on the radio, they have the choice of 2 knobs... one that changes the station and the other turns it off.

Since when is adultery illegal?

Not that I condone it!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adultery

United States

In the United States, laws vary from state to state. In those states where adultery is still on the statute books (although rarely prosecuted), penalties vary from life sentence (Michigan)[46] to a $10 fine (Maryland) to a Class B misdemeanor (New York)[47] to a Class I felony (Wisconsin).[48]. In the state of South Carolina, the criminal fine for adultery is a fine no greater than $500 and/or imprisonment for no more than one year [South Carolina code 16-15-60], yet the divorce laws codified at South Carolina Code Section 20-3-60(A) deny alimony to the adulterous spouse, which in some cases can cost the adulterous spouse millions of dollars in future income.[49]

In the U.S. Military, adultery is a potential court-martial offense.[12] The enforceability of adultery laws in the United States is unclear following Supreme Court decisions since 1965 relating to privacy and sexual intimacy of consenting adults.[50] However, occasional prosecutions do occur.[51]

We're gonna need some bigger jails....

I'd rather my kid hear the word cocaine than to watch those k-y commercials for their two part system.

LOL...OK I guess technically but since they haven't been enforced in over 30 years, probably not going to get arrested for it. Also illegal to "live together" if you want to get really technical.
