Dropping F-Bombs
Soundcheck | Mar 21, 2011
Three of the Billboard top ten songs in the country have titles containing the F-word. On this year’s Grammys telecast, Cee Lo Green played a rollicking version of the smash hit everyone knows isn’t really called “Forget You.” Has one of the most powerful curse words in the English arsenal become toothless? We get some straight talk on profanity from linguist John McWhorter and New York Times pop critic Jon Pareles.
