On censorship

Today's lyric:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Don't need a whore, I don't need no booze
Don't need a virgin priest.
But I need someone I can cry to, I need someone to protect.
Making love and breaking hearts, it is a game for youth.
But I'm not waiting on a lady, I'm just waiting on a friend."

The Rolling Stones: "Waiting on a friend"
From the album: "Jump back"

All the classics

Watching The Brits last night, initially I thought that a loss of sound was a technical problem, but Mrs.D. reckoned someone had sworn and it had been 'bleeped' by fuzzing the broadcast?

I never have understood this censorship thing. If a live audience (including, by its very nature, young pop-loving people) were able to listen to what was said, why is it possible to fade out what we're quite prepared to hear, knowing (because it was announced as being 'live' and therefore possibly contentious), that there might be the odd swear-word?

It really pi55e5 me off.
