I am SO laughing here - her second word was the "F-Bomb." God, I adore this woman. And the song is just wonderful. Long live Aimee Mann... (and how I would LOVE to see her and Jennifer Trynin in concert together...) Everything I'm Cracked Up to Be |

Don't we have bigger things to worry about than the (let it be said, artful) use of a profanity in a rock song? Sheesh. I think I just heard George Carlin turn over in his grave.

It saddens me deeply how unevolved humans actually are when they're still offended by the use of powerful words in artistic and emotional expression. Political correctness is fucking dull.
It's no wonder we're in this mess.

"F-bomb"? What are you guys, eleven years old? "Fuck" is a perfectly good and old Saxon word, deriving from the Middle Dutch, "fokken" (to thrust, copulate with). This song, however, is not perfectly good.

Anyway, when I wrote that, it was the third time in a week where it was played & the timing couldn't have been worse....we have RP streaming all through the house and outdoors....which leads to the mad dash to turn it down...because, yes, it is true - I don't particularly want to listen to that with my 6 year old ...or my Mom.... so it is a small inconvenience for me for all of good that RP brings to the airwaves...which is priceless.
Suggestion: Explain to your six year old what free artistic expression is and why it is important that prudes and cultural fascists not be allowed to suppress art. Then explain to us why your six year old should care that "fuck" is used in song lyrics unless someone has made it a big deal already. If your mom is offended, then maybe you should have the same discussion with her. Nothing like a good, honest family conversation to help cleanse what looks to be a nasty Puritanical streak running through your life. Maybe you should stick to NPR. |

Following your logic, RP should only play sanitised versions of songs because someone, somewhere around the world, might have RP playing at work or in their living room with their pre-school children. Fuck it, it's only a word describing a totally necessary biological act!  1. That's what headphones are for. 2. The FCC hasn't gotten their claws into internet radio yet, thank god. I'm sure someday they'll try to save our precious ears from this material, but then the servers streaming the music will only move to another jurisdiction. |

Second this. Saw her in Ann Arbor at her Christmas show and my only regret was not seeing and hearing enough of her. |

Oh yes she can,just not now.
She is a serious artist and does have some not so great moments.
I'd still take her throwaways over a lot of peoples stuff. |
