well I'm done with KTYD...stupid, stupid..the worst thing you can do is censor rock-n-roll...that's why we have a Constitution that protects free speech..
when I heard 'Money For Nothing' recently on KTYD, they bleeped the word "faggot" out!!! it's great song by Dire Straits..Mark Knopfler and Sting...but most importantly, it is a SATIRE!!!
wikipedia:
"Money for Nothing" is a single by British rock band Dire Straits, taken from their 1985 studio album Brothers in Arms. The song's lyrics are written from the point of view of two working-class men watching music videos and commenting on what they see. The song features a guest appearance by Sting singing background vocals, providing both the signature falsetto introduction and backing chorus of "I want my MTV." The groundbreaking video was the first to be aired on MTV Europe when the network launched on 1 August 1987.
The first-person narrating character in the lyrics refers to a musician "banging on the bongos like a chimpanzee" and a woman "stickin' in the camera, man we could have some fun". He describes a singer as "that little faggot with the earring and the make-up", and bemoans that these artists get "money for nothing and chicks for free"
Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx claimed that the song was about his band's outrageous lifestyle. In an interview, he related an apocryphal story that the members of Dire Straits were in a store that sold televisions, and a row of TVs were all playing Mötley Crüe videos.
the little faggot is a millionaire...brilliant song
unless you're too stupid to understand the context
