Subject: RE: Is It Just Me, Or....? (song ethics)
But do we think we want our daughters hearing this song growing up, or while they're out drinking at the honkytonk?

The Dixie Chicks' "Earl" was, at least as a video, done tongue in cheek. This one has a different approach. I do not want it censored, but I am concerned about the airplay it has or may have. At a concert for adults, or on the performer's album-- that's for adults to decide about. But do I want it out there for little kids to hear in the carseats....? No....

Or picture this-- a honkytonk bar full of boisterous party-hearties... women making this their drinking chorus while several of the male party-ers store up a few more frustrations to take home to their wives or girlfriends.

Is that not a ratcheting UP of potential domestic violence?
