Hmm - a Classic playlist, eh?<br>
<br>
This is from a 1948 song by Bull Moose Jackson which I wouldn't want
to justify to any feminists.....<br>

Because her big fat Legs are so far apart
I want a bow legged

I want to find me A gal somehow
She's gotta be built like an ol' bass fiddle
Big bow legs and a hole in the middle
Gotta be on my way,
To find a bow legged Woman today.</span>

<div>Makes me wonder how one deals with double entendre. At face
value the word may be innocent, but to the attuned ear it could
be very lude, rude or even abusive. And that gets even more
complex when it's combined with street slang (what was that word
anyway?), or street slang from other languages (there's an urban
track I want to play from Marseille, sung in a mixture of French
and Algerian Arabic - can anyone translate to make sure it's
safe?).</div>

<div>Maybe we should just keep safe and select only from the
Classic Gold playlist.</div>

explicit songs - I'd use the word "appropriate"<br>
<br>
I think that we'd all agree that the Glasgow station who
tried to say that the Fword was every day speech and that
panini didn't mean a certain body part was having a laugh
and were rightly kicked.<br>
<br>
However, the danger is that we get knee-jerk reactions
that have unintended consequences. Ban Eminem, but then
you knock out the song that made Dido famous and is OK.<br>
<br>
You really need someone of the right age to vet a lot of
rap and similar stuff - I am old enough to saythat I would
have probably caught panini - especially given the words
around it, but a lot of street slang is just way beyond my
ken - both musically (?!!) and lyrically.<br>
<br>
We have a lot of Gaelic up here and a wonderful column in
yesterdays Aberdeen Press & Journal commented on the
ATM in East London using Cockney rhyming slang and asking
why the Gaelic Mafia weren't agitating for their version
up here. The columnist points out that in Gaelic rhyming
slang a withdrawal would be a "cnap" - literally a lump of
money, ie a wad of cash. Unfortunately for non-Gaels, the
"n" is pronounced here as an "r" and would thus sound like
the word that got Paul Simon's "Kodachrome" banned when it
was first released.<br>
<br>
The English nickname "Bot" caused total hilarity with
Gaelic speaking school kids in Stornoway many years ago as
they couldn't believe that anyone, let alone a visiting
Deputy Headmaster, was openly called "*rse".<br>
<br>
Eric Bogle, much loved as an artist by many of our older
Presenters, has a song "Guns, Guns, Guns" which is a
mickey take on the American way of life. The day after
Dunblane or the recent Tomintoul Gamekeeper tragedy, many
people and possibly Ofcom would probably regard that song
as at least as inapproriate as the Fword!<br>
<br>
I wouldn't play "I Predict A Riot" the night that
Tottenham burned and hope that everyone else was that
sensible. But if you're using an automated playout system
out of hours.....?? Do you watch the news and then quickly
scan your entire music collection?<br>
<br>
So yes, you should certainly vet music and not load/play
certain tracks. The Fword is an obvious one. But you also
need to stress "appropriateness", not just a very narrow
"explicit"<br>
<br>
You also need to accept that with the best will in the
world, something will go wrong once in a while and have
procedures in place to handle it. The Fword is easy,
others become more subjective and station specific.<br>
<br>
That's my personal opinion, anyway.<br>
<br>
Must go now and finish my playlist for tonight - hmm, now
which excellent track by my favourite female rock band
Fanny shall we start with?<br>

<p>Sorry Martin - and everyone else - but if, as you
say, you haven't the the staff or volunteers to
pre-check all music that's played, then you should
simply not be using anything - or anyone - that you
are not prepared to personally guarantee as socially
acceptable.<br>
<br>
You are leaving yourself wide open to very serious
social and litigious action and in my view you should
not risk operating a freely-available public service
under those conditions. <br>
