re: Country artist's DMT song

Been some folks coming to my page to chastise (judge) me for taking the Lord's name in vain on Conan so figured I should address it.

Ironically, the song is actually a metaphor comparing the soothing yet completely addictive and damaging effects of hard narcotic opiates to the negative sociological impact of organized religion and blind faith when forced upon society and used as a political tool by self-righteous, thinly-veiled bigots to control and manipulate the masses and enhance the suffering of impoverished, lower class citizens. Also, since I'm self-funding/self-releasing my art instead of shooting for ACM awards and taking it up the arse from the music row man, I have the right to write and sing and say whatever I choose just as you have the right to not buy or listen to my music and stay away from my page if you don't like it.

So with that said...
1. I sang it like I wrote it
2. Censorship is bullshite
3. This is America and people can say anything they want including "Goddamn" at the top of their lungs on national TV
