After re-reading the threads above, I think some of you are doing some "liberal" projections regarding artists contracted to appear on shows or in venues that reserve the right to veto songs the artist wishes to perform. It is conceivable that there are venues that MIGHT censor some artist's songs based on the lyrics being too vulgar, or suggestive, or something like that, but frankly, I don't know of any. Neither do I know of any that would censor lyrics based on whether or not they were PC. I say this based on twenty years of experience booking artists in public venues.

Would those of you who side with PBS do so were they have to objected to Daniels song because they tought the lyrics were vulgar? Hmmmm?

Genie: I saw that Bill O'Brien show too, but I don't recall the interviews with the PBS folks. I understoon Bill to say PBS had been invited to comment and they refused. We must have seen different shows I guess. I did see the Charlie Daniels interview though.
