I want to once again comment on the use of the word fuck in recorded music. I personally don't care if the artist wants to do this. Sometimes it is the only way to get the point across. Example: I am fucken tired of bands sending radio with the word fuck slipped in without any mention of it! (Get it she says as she grins really big). Most of the records I get at home are not edited for radio because I also do reviews etc. So I have to really make sure before I broadcast anything on Car Tunes. However, WEVL gives me numerous CDs every week to screen for them, to see if it is something we might want to include on some of the WEVL shows. It sure would be nice if these records we get at the station had a mention that they use one of the 7 words we are not allowed to broadcast, so we would not have to waste precious time week after week listening over and over to make sure that we don't let something slip thru the cracks. If there was a sticker saying that word was there, I could simply skip that song. I was really grooving the Street Spankers CD when WEVL gave it to me to approve. then out of the blue, there it is. No lyrics printed for me to double check against. This really sucked. I have not had a chance to listen again, but I think even the Terry Allen has "shit" I can't play. PLEASE get the word out to bands you know or work with to help us out at radio. After all, we are helping you by playing your music (when it's good, or does not have one of those "dirty evil" words...) Come on!!!!!!! Remember we have to do what the FCC says, we are not in a country that is radio-hip-free. Man, I am in the Bible Belt...... Help me out!!!!!!!! Hat's off to the Hogwaller Ramblers for the sticker they had on the front of the CD I recieved. If they got that idea from here, thanks for listening. Let's don't drag this thru the wringer again here, but PLEASE forward this to anyone you know that sends CDs to radio stations. Thanks Nancy
