You could be right. I am too broadminded and thick skinned to take offence that easy. I forget that some people are not as liberal or forgiving as me.
Turn it around.... should someone who perhaps is easily offended or has different beliefs from others bar me from listening and formulating my own opinion about a song I may not have an issue with. Can they not just skip through it.... judge it as being far worse and move on to the next song.
I remember when Rock and Roll was branded "The Devil's Work" and people tried to ban it.
I also remember when an innocent casual John Lennon throw away remark left some narrow minded people burning Beatles records.
Now I do not know just how offensive this song is BUT censorship is a very poor answer. As I said before where do we draw the line the PC police cannot be allowed a free hand.

"Parents are notorious for telling you not to do something, but not telling you WHAT to do instead. So here are my thoughts. Don't bite the hand that feeds you, give it a manicure. Don't burn your bridges, go out and build more! And of course, Don't run with Scissors, use them to cut out your press clippings!" -Brian Austin Whitney
