Explicit lyrics
I think it may be time for me to clean up my iPod. Some friends were over this evening and their 9-year old daughter spent most of the night playing with my iPod. With thousands of songs to choose from, she quickly found one that had the f word in the title (an old Beck song). This was announced in front of everybody.
It actually raises a dilemma regarding children and music. There are a lot of good bands that have clean lyrics, except for one or two songs. I hear foul language regularly at work and I'm not too shy about using it either. So a swear word in a song doesn't particularly bother me, but I don't want my kids listening to it. I guess I'm at that stage in life when I need to set an example. No fun. |

That's nothing. I had just gotten my HDTV and my new DISH HD service. Had some member guests over for dinner.
I decided to flip to a movie to demonstrate the quality. So I flip over to a movie I had recorded but not watched. Broken flowers. Naked women on the screen from a HBO commercial for one of their sex shows. I hit the 30 second forward, more naked women, hit it again, no naked women. I say, "sorry, I didn't know that was there." It's pretty embarrassing. |

Our rule....no f words in songs. If there is an f word in the song, adios. This really sucks because one of the kids favorite songs is "Don't Call me Whitney, Bobby" by Islands. We call it the Brittle Bones song. I need to bleep out the f word and put it back in the rotation.

Surfah, that's hilarious! Seriously, like $10,000 on America's Funniest Home Videos funny. My son used to sound exactly the same when he tried to say the word "truck". My buddies all used to try and make him say "dump truck" for obvious reasons. Bluegoose's kid used to have a similar problem saying the word "cougars" during football games. It was actually an appropriate year for them to have that new nickname as several were booted from the team for just that.
