There are certain words that radio stations are not permitted to play - if they allow the F-word to be aired and someone calls the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and reports that station, it's an automatic fine (can't remember how much for a first offense, but it's pretty hefty.) And if the station persists, they get their business license yanked. I'm sure there are ins and outs regarding internet radio vs. commercial radio broadcasting with advertisements and sponsors. This has been happening for years - when the Who came out with "Who Are You?" most radio stations weren't required to censor it. Gradually, though, the FCC started becoming (or catching flack from) the moral majority and implemented strict rules on what could and could not be allowed on the air. Grrr. Freedom of speech - where did it go?  |

By the way, it's 'ultra', not 'ulta', and 'belated' means "delayed beyond the usual time." I have no idea how you're trying to use it here. Personally, I love his arrangements, energy, and composition. He's not a fantastic singer, no, but neither are Neil Young or Bob Dylan. Would you call their work 'crap'? |

I guess this is a pretty morose title to this album now!  Anyway, this is a fun song! |

this is a great anthology of Warren's music, with a lot of his lesser known ballads  he was always about the coolness |

The live, 12-string acoustic version on 'Learning to Flinch' is also as killer as the original. Simply. Awesome. |

Next to Big Audio Dynamite's "Medicine Show" and Randy Newman's "Political Science", this is the funniest song about American foreign policy ever!

Only "Poor, poor, pitiful me." captures it better.
I would think "Exciteable Boy" would capture it best....  |
