Even five years ago I think a record company might have told James Blunt he would have to edit [the bad language], because otherwise people will complain about it. The fact they no longer think that necessary does tell you something. The Streets, for example, write songs that sound like conversations, and if everyday conversation includes more swearing, then that will be reflected in the music.  -   Simon Frith     Quotes
