Damn you, I'd actually managed to put that song out of my mind for over two decades now! Then you mentioned it and now the accursed thing won't leave me alone. Why? Why, God, why?

Hold on there. I'm quite a fan of that song. It never fails to remind me of the Billy Jack movies. I love those films.

Without this song, we would not have had this other song. Stupid Canadians.

At least they're getting quicker at this sort of thing. Last week it was a centuries old book. This week a decades old song. Soon they'll be censoring stuff that's only a few years out of the spotlight. |

They mentioned this on the classic rock station a couple days ago and said that the FCC has made US stations play this song with the offending word removed for years.
Mark Knopfler the lead singer and master guitarist stopped using that word in live performances over a decade ago.
The DJ mentioned a few other songs that have had words censored out but pointed out that Eric Claptons Cocaine hasn't been censored.

There is no such thing as an "innocent bystander"
Mmmm censorship.
I'm quite against any form of censorship including this, but I have a question.
I noticed (in the US, atleast) that newer songs have to be really censored for radio. Even words like God and references to drugs get censored. Yet the oldie rock station I listen to can play this song or Pink Floyds "Money" uncensored. Both contain coarse language. Why do old songs avoid censorship?

It might be dependent on who's doing the censoring.

Can I sig it? I'm gonna sig it. Sig'd. lol
Edit: Oh, yeah.... I should prolly comment on the actual topic.... ummm...
As a person who the "offending" word could actually be levied against, I think it's dumb to censor it. I don't like the word (no matter who uses it) but ya know, People can say what they want to. They just need to realize that they can be held accountable for doing it. (socially accountable that is, legal penalty for free speech would kinda defeat the purpose wouldn't it)

I once heard that when a song reaches a certain age (25 years?, 20 years?) it's assumed that everyone knows the lyrics and so it doesn't have to be censored any more. However, I have been searching for some confiramtion of this and haven't been able to find any. I suspect it's just DJs playing the uncensored version and hoping nobody complains.

Hooray for unnecessary censorship! Hooray, I say!
I've heard both the edited and unedited version on the radio over the years, depending on which station was playing it. (I remember getting into an argument with a friend that the version we were listening to at the time was edited, and he'd never heard that verse before. Suffice to say, when I played the CD for him at my apt, he was more than a little surprised.)
There are far more offensive songs out there that DON'T need to use terms like these that I'd rather have banned, but I can just as easily not listen to those stations or songs if I so choose.

Most of the censorship on radio is self imposed by whatever company owns the station. There's only a few things that are actually actionable by the FCC. So it's generally a case of a media company not wanting to deal with some activist group threatening their sponsors.

You used to be able to listen to the the radio and hear The Who's Who Are You with full lyrics ("Who the **** are you?"), no bleeps/edits... Even when Pink Floyd's The Division Bell came out and one of the songs had a rather fun line of "So I open my door to my enemies... And I ask could we wipe the slate clean... But they tell me to please go **** myself".
All freely heard on American FM airwaves.
We're more advanced these days!
Does the FCC have a paypal account for paying them directly?
