[cma-l] Offensive Lyrics - Can of Worms!

[Stevensuttie at aol.com]

Hey its great that such a debate has been inspired by this query.
 
I am very keen to give the volunteer a slot on the radio playing the  music 
that he and his contempories enjoy. Its not my cup of tea at all - but if  
Salford City Radio only broadcast the things that I personally like and  
understand - it would be a rather dull radio station that did very little to  
satisfy its key commitments or engage with local people - thus pointless.
 
The slot I have in mind is a pre-record at 11pm on a Sunday night, and not  
ALL songs will contain lyrics "which some may find offensive" but my 
initial  question was - what do you guys do? Thanks to Tom at Future Radio  - 
interesting advice.
 
The peculiar thing here is that artists such as James Blunt and Pink and  
Beautiful South put much more offensive words in the album versions of their 
hit  singles. And as we all know - these songs occasionally go on air during 
day  time! 
 
Hey - the Number 10 petition has reached 1,677 people already - fantastic  
stuff! Heres the link if you're not on that list yet...
