Point taken...we'll see.

Well, it's the human condition. Many are attracted to such content, for one reason or another. The alternative for those that don't want to hear it, of course, is to not buy such music. When I was a kid, I was exposed to a lot of classical music. That stuff is highly educational, intensely creative and rewarding, and nary a swear word.

If I was against exposure to such music (I'm not for it, per se) I personally would much rather do that than to buy such music and then censor it: a) it may change the meaning of the song; b) it still supports the artists that put out such work.
