The great irony for me is that my tune contains one of those words that would not make it on network TV.
. . . and so I cannot play it for my 13-year-old daughter.
So, I agree that perhaps those tunes which may require a 'Parental Advisory' sticker should all go on the same CD. The probelm is that there are not enough of those tumes to fill one CD - so who gets 'penalized' by being put on the 'nasty musicians!' CD?
And would it be considered to be being penalized?
My own solution for Volume III?
Don't submit a tune with anything questionalbe in it.
I'd want a sticker saying 'Parental Advisory, May contain implicit lyrics'.
And then I also wanna tell all of you to wisen up. If you can't play a song to your kids because of the lyrics in the, they better be a song about you selling them into slavery to buy new gear. Because I can promise you that all your 13 year old daughters and sons have already heard all the words you aren't supposed to say on TV.
Absolutely true - but me using them condones them using them - which I don't.
Artistic license is a weird thing - the song was written from the point of view of a particular individual - and it is difficult for a 13 year old to understand that concept.

The character of the person in the song would use the words that are in the song - but I wouldn't (not in earshot of any 13-year-old anyway) - and that's why they are in the song.
