'we just twiddled the knobs'. well then, i suppose it's sheer luck your music sounds good? should i even expect more than half of your songs to be listenable? as for the obscenity ~ i personally don't take offence. i take offense at volume, not content. swear all you want, but keep it quiet ~ or funny (it's usually easier to keep it quiet.) also, i think the example you're pointing out has more of a problem with how few words, rather than _which_ words, the guy uses. if you can replace every verb in your vocabulary with 'to fuck', then there's probably a problem, yes. but let's not shun four-letter words. they're people too. ~ david
