How does ‘Money for Nothing’ by Dire Straits still get played on the radio today?

Heard it today while driving and couldn’t believe that one verse wasn’t edited out.

For those who have no clue what I’m talking about, here’s the verse:

quote:

See the little **** with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little **** got his own jet airplane
That little ****, he's a millionaire

Complaint away from pulling it. That’s how this works now days

"Chicks for free" line has a timeless appeal.

Radio enjoys hurting little pussy’s feelings. Who’s feelings are hurt about it?

Because most people in the world are not figs like yourself.

In any case, So Far Away is their best song by far.

‘Cause it’s already recorded and they are making ‘money for nothing.’

SJWs don’t listen to classic rock stations.
