Occasionally when listening to classic rock on the car radio I realize that some songs couldn't be released without a lot of protest today due to lyrics about violence against women (The Beatles' Run For Your life, for starters).

Or "Norwegian Wood" - in which a married John Lennon sings about trying to get a one-night stand going with a groupie, gets rebuffed, and takes revenge by committing arson in her apartment.

And, of course, there's the Rolling Stones with "Under My Thumb" and "Stupid Girl" for starters.
