they're playing @JasonIsbell's "Anxiety" on the Current right now, and instead of "I can't enjoy a goddamn thing" he stretches the "damn" out for two syllables. it's a totally reasonable solution, but having heard the record version first, it always sounds weird.

surely you can't actually get fined by the FTC for allowing a "goddamn" in a song over the public airwaves? I'm 99.5% sure they used to leave "goddamn"s in.

I assume it's not really because of FTC regs but because there's a PTC-equivalent fundie busybody group that flooded ClearChannel with enough complaints, that they set corporate policy and because they're so big, everyone else has to go along.

doesn't make sense if you're an artist or label to produce multiple different radio versions.

it's stupid, though. hearing a passing "goddamn" or "fuck" in a song never harmed anyone, but they'll play "Under My Thumb" at any hour of the day.
