I've heard the F-bomb on the radio my entire life. Nothing new here. Anyone know the song "Who are you?" by the Who?

"I've heard the F-bomb on the radio my entire life."

How old are you? 6 months? What is the F-bomb?

I am 59, and do not recall ever hearing the f word on radio or TV. I have heard it bleeped out, even on Stern's TV show...Maybe in rap songs, but I do not listen to that, and doubt that I could hear it anyway.

I recall one line from a Who song:
"your brother's gonna kill me? Oh... f***ing will he?"
Radio has never bothered to bleep it out, anywhere I have ever lived.

*shrugging*

I have no problem with good ol' Anglo-Saxon... it beats kowtowing to the effete and attenuated vestiges of the forcibly imposed bigotry of the French (cf: Battle of Hastings, 1066AD)

Am I missing something here?


Who Lyrics - Who Are You

(Peter Townshend)
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said "You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"
I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair
chorus:
Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I took the tube back out of town
Back to the Rollin' Pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin
I stretched back and I hiccupped
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the Tin Pan
God, there's got to be another way
Who are you?
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ...
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
(chorus)
I know there's a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees
I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still recieve your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this?
(chorus)

Last night my daugther was listening in the car (mom and I were talking to each other and not paying attention) and they said the F word four times. Finally, she spoke up and asked what was going on.
