My last post was on radio singles (versions of songs that labels re-mix to add more punch, shorten the song, or sometimes 'rub' out words). Someone made an excellent point in a comment that I wanted to bring out for discussion.
The song to which we referred, Nickelback's "Rockstar," has two words in it that radio station's would be fined for airing. Both words refer to the same part of the human anatomy and would not pass the FCC's rules.
Is that right?
Should radio stations like KTI take a stand?
Are the FCC rules a good thing?
This is the law of the land. Is it a good thing? Is it a bad thing? I would love your comments.

Unless I am missing something the words in referenced were edited out of the song. I don't get the controversy With "Rock Star". It is obviously in fun. They are using every cliche in the book when it come to being a "rock Star". Whoever is offened by it probably does not have much of a sense of humor.
The government should stay out of our music. Go help people who need help.
