Has it gone too far? It seems like they are censoring everything now. I was driving home today and I heard Jason Aldean's song "Johnny Cash" for like the 100th time, but I picked up on something I hadn't heard before when it was on the radio. It is supposed to go: "Quit my job flipped off the boss took my name off the payroll, screw you man". Instead the radio version goes: "Quit my job took my name off the payroll, I'm outta here man". Just kind of got to me a little. I mean, where is going to stop? I'm done venting.

 

people censor the most stupid things. Seriously, do they really think someone is going to be that offended? If they are worried about kids hearing it or something, they need to get a clue. At my HS that would be the nicest thing i heard all day.

 

It seems that radio is being censored ,but i can find almost anything on TV that would should be illegal. Amost every obscene word can be heard on tv. This world is skrewed up, instead of people taking responsibility for what is right and wrong , the government has to tell them what is. Nickelback has ther song (rockstar) censored and it isnt that bad.

 

You hit the nail on the head!

 

I'm not so sure if it's radio censorship or country music censorship. I've heard some pretty obscene things coming from hip-hop radio. No it was not coming from MY radio. I think censoring the "Screw you man" and other not so obscene lyrics is part of country's more family friendly attitude rather than the shoot em' up kill em and sell drugs lyrics of that other crap.

 

Some radio stations have set thier own rules on top of the rules set on place for ALL radio....

Something like your example, would be done by choice of the owners and heads of the radio station, not the government.

 

That's why I have satellite radio...Sirius to be exact.

I think it's more the stations than the government. Country radio stations are supposed to be more family friendly than rock and rap stations.

I know that the two local ones where I live, a lot of people wrote and called in to complain about the lyrics in that song.

So it was probally a lot of appeasing the masses.

 

It really doesn't bother me either way. I have it on CD, but I still think it was just a little too far. Nothing I can do about it. Just play the CDs more.

 

Me too...

Just like on the Talyor Swift song "Picture to burn" They don't say "gay" on the radio... It is pretty retarded, I usually just buy CD's and put them on my I-Pod.

 

There is this rock station around here (WAAF), and I've heard quite a few songs on there with F-bombs, then the next song played would have censoring, then the one after that would be all original, kinda bizzare

 

I've heard that. I was waiting for it too.

Lead Head: WAAF lets a lot slip, especially with the Hill-Man in the morning.

 

Yeah, believe me though! I'm not complaining, I like hearing songs as how they were originally intended.

 

I think they should play the way the were originally intended to be played, all this tryin not to **** anybody off is getting a little out of hand.
