The *bleep* radio
On my way to work this morning I was listening to Y-100, waiting through a song for their morning banter. It was “My Own Worst Enemy” by Lit. There are some bad words in the song, which the station had bothered to “bleep” out.
These days, there isn’t a bleep on the radio when you would otherwise hear an expletive. You hear a gap in the vocal audio track, but not the music. Presumably, the recording company has produced a “clean” version of the track where the bad word is simply removed from the full recording. Well, that seems like a great idea, but they never fully remove the word.
