Dear terrestrial radio stations: If you must needs bleep, and I wish to Christ you wouldn't, just do not fucking bother playing Nine Inch Nails. kthxbye.
Back in days of yore, when I was in high school, and would watch VH1, I swear to $DEITY they bleeped the word “toke”. Repeatedly. Censorship has never been quite the same for me since.
The shitty local stations will play "Cocaine" by Eric Clapton perfectly happily, without any kind of alteration. But! when they would play Buckcherry's "Lit Up", which they did a lot since it was a Big Hit for about fifteen minutes, they'd INEVITABLY bleep the chorus "I love the cocaine, I love the cocaine".
Some kind of temporary sanity in this …… blood …… on my hands.
