The War On What Is Referred To As Profanity/Foul Language & Sex & Nudity

****The following article is an opinion of the writer and does not necessarily mean it's right or wrong and certainly does not reflect on your opinions of the article please feel free to leave your comments and opinions in the comment section if you wish to. Alright, let's get right down to it here, folks. Everyone in the world today—or should I say most people in the world today—are all up in arms about what people call profanity or foul language, which to me goes back to the time of George Carlin's seven words you absolutely cannot, no matter what, say on television, which are the following: Shit, Piss, Cunt, Fuck, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, & Tits. Now, nowadays, some of those words are being used on television. We've let a few of them slide. For instance, I've heard the words "shit" and "piss," because let's break this down a little: those are two bodily functions we do on a daily basis, so how are those profane or foul? It's not something you generally want to sit and have a conversation about, but what is so bad about those words? And then there is "fuck." Well, let's think about this: it might sound like a harsh word to say, but in reality, if you soften the language a little, it's another word for lovemaking and how we create life in this world. So, again, it's an act of love in a sense, so what's so bad about this word? Now, we have not heard on national television the two compound words like "cocksucker" and "motherfucker." Those can be quite outright rude in any aspect. As for the word "cunt," yes, it is semi-derogatory. It is technically a body part, which has many other words like vagina, pussy, and many others we will not add here. But again, it's a body part on a female, which yes, is rude to say, but it's not a swear. Same with the word "tits"—it's just another word for breasts, boobs, and an endless list of names. Now, I'm sorry to say this, but there are some people that get offended by some of these words. I try not to use these words unless provoked by someone, and even then, I try to restrain myself from saying them. But in recent months, I was told by an officer of the law that I called a woman who was in a same-sex marriage a cunt, which is not my style. And this officer told me straight to my face that the particular word here in question was qualified as hate speech, which I don't know how that's possible for the simple fact that it is a body part, first of all. And second, hate speech to me is the "N-word"—that's hate speech. Sadly, "cunt" is not hate speech. It's semi-derogatory, but it is not a hateful word. As a male in that case, if I had wanted to, I could have reversed the conversation and told the officer, "Well, the female did call me a dick." But what would that have done? As again, it's not a swear; it's a male body part. The technical term would be penis, but it's the same thing. There are many descriptive words for these said parts or bodily functions. So why are we teaching children of today that these are profanity or foul language when they really aren't at all? They are just harmless words to describe something as an act of something we do or body parts folks have. Now moving on to sex or nudity: another thing that is not as horrible as people make it out to be all around the world. Only in the United States do we make a big deal about this subject. Think about it: we came into the world nude. We did not come out of the birthing canal with a three-piece suit or a dress on, people. We came into the world stark naked. They cleaned you off in the birthing room, wrapped a blanket around you, handed you to mom or dad, said, "Congratulations, it's a boy or a girl" (whichever you came out as), and called it a day. From that point, most parents hurried up to dress you in clothing so no one saw your naughty bits or body, because it was a bad thing to do or see. What people do not realize is that you don't shower with clothing on—otherwise, how do you get clean? When you change out of an outfit, you're nude before you put another outfit on. Or maybe if you're preparing to go to sleep, maybe you sleep in the nude, which there is nothing wrong with. It's a scientific fact that you should let your skin breathe, so sleeping in the nude is not a bad thing; it's a healthy thing. Everyone makes it sound as though if you sleep in the nude, you're a pervert or a degenerate, which is not true. You're a normal human being. Sex even is a natural thing. Again, the world thinks if you watch a movie with sexual activity—whether it's a regular R-rated movie that has sex in a scene or if you watch an adult entertainment film—that again, you're a degenerate. Well, then, if that is the case, regardless of whether you are watching either one of those, if you are a person who watches two animals in nature doing that sort of thing, you are a degenerate technically. And you cannot say, "Well, that's different," because I want to know: how is it different? Is it because it's two animals and not two human beings? Because it is really no different in this writer's eyes. It's just an act of love. No one is forcing anyone to watch it. If you choose not to watch it, it's your choice. If you choose to watch all of that, it's your choice. No one is going to think differently of you for that. Now, if you're watching it obsessively and that's all you want to watch, again, it's qualified as unhealthy, and it is probably because it takes time away from what you might need to be doing, or your mind just operates differently than others. Again, if you think it's bad, it's your opinion, and your opinion means a lot to you and the people you talk with. But it does not mean it's right, nor does it mean it's wrong. It's just sad that the world keeps changing all the time and everyone thinks their opinion is the gospel and is right. To you, yes it is; to some others, not so much. We don't rule the world with an iron fist, sadly, and not everything someone says is right. It might be to that person, but it doesn't mean the world has to follow it. Just think about that today, everyone, and treat people the way you'd want to be treated.

Retro Music That Never Dies & Still Sounds Fresh As The Day It Was Released

It is simply amazing how music continues to make a comeback in today's era. The simple fact is that music dating as far back as classic blues artists like Robert Johnson still holds deep meaning today. Everyone, at some point, gets the blues—whether from heartbreak, financial loss, losing a job, or experiencing homelessness. Because these human experiences are universal, the blues remains relevant regardless of who is singing it, be it the original artist or a new up-and-coming performer. When new listeners hear a modernized cover of a classic, it often inspires them to go back, discover the original artist, and dive deep into their discography. Once they do, they share it with their friends, who then share it with theirs, creating a continuous cycle of appreciation. You can never go wrong with the classics in today's world. Look at The Beatles, for instance. Their music will never die or become irrelevant because artists keep rediscovering their catalog. Many of us who grew up in the eighties first discovered "With A Little Help From My Friends" through the opening credits of the television show The Wonder Years. We heard Joe Cocker's legendary cover because the show was set during the Woodstock era. If you liked that version, it naturally made you want to dig deeper into his discography and explore the influences that shaped his sound. Today, the younger generation is using these classic songs in their Instagram videos and across social media. Regardless of whether the original artists are still alive, their estates are generating millions, if not billions, of dollars in revenue. This resurgence is a major reason why vinyl records are selling so well again. Many music lovers feel vinyl is the best way to hear the classics, offering that signature warm sound complete with the gentle crackle and pop of the needle on the turntable. While some modern heavy-weight vinyl reissues are nice, constant remastering comes with a downside: eventually, the music starts losing the character of the original recording. This is especially true when remastering live concert albums. Take, for example, the Jimi Hendrix Experience release, *Live At Berkeley First Show May 30, 1970*. It is a fabulous performance by Hendrix, but if you listen to older pressings of that same show, the audience ambiance is mixed much better. When you listen to a classic live performance, you want to feel like you were actually in the venue. As sound engineers keep remastering these classic studio and live albums, the music can start to sound less like the original artist. You risk stripping away the natural nuances that were put down during the original session. Consider Hendrix’s *Electric Ladyland*, which was remastered for its 50th anniversary in 2018. The Super Deluxe version is great for bonus material, and if you listen through a high-quality headset, you can hear every detail—every string plucked by Hendrix sounds clearer than ever, making you feel as though you are in the studio with him. However, if an album like that is remastered again, what else can really be done that wasn't already accomplished nearly a decade ago? Beyond a certain point, there is no noticeable audio improvement to be made. Unfortunately, artificial intelligence is now entering the picture and altering the landscape. AI is complicating things by making audio sound unnaturally perfect or by creating material that never existed in the first place. Consider an artist like Billy Joel, a master performer often called "the man of a thousand voices." In concert, Billy sometimes covers classic rock tracks, like Paul Simon's "Still Crazy After All These Years." If you search YouTube today, you can find what sounds like a full, polished studio version of Billy Joel singing that song—generated entirely by AI. We did not need an AI-generated version, yet listeners will assume it is authentic because the vocals sound identical to him. This raises serious questions about how technology is being used. Creating non-existent tracks does a disservice to artists and public figures. While it is nice to honor and remember the legendary artists we love, technology is making it increasingly difficult to separate real recordings from digital fabrications. This issue is particularly concerning for artists who have passed away. Because the public does not know everything hidden inside legendary music vaults, an AI track can easily be passed off as a newly discovered, unreleased gem from Hendrix, Elvis, or another icon. Without having been in the studio ourselves, we are left relying on media reports to tell us if a track is genuine. It is certainly a lot of food for thought regarding the current state of the music industry. To end on a broader note: remember to treat others as fairly as you wish to be treated yourself. If you treat people poorly, you cannot expect kindness in return—that is simply not how the world works.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience "Magic Boy" Live At Berkeley: The First Show Is Purely Magical & Brings You There

It is finally here, folks: the official version of Live At Berkeley: May 30, 1970 – First Show. While unofficial bootlegs of both the first and second shows have circulated over the years with adequate sound quality, this officially remastered release by Eddie Kramer and Bernie Grundman makes you feel like you are sitting front row center. The energy captured in this performance is simply amazing. As was typical for Jimi, no two performances were ever identical. He preferred to keep things fresh on stage each night so he would never tire of the setlist. He delivered high-energy shows that consistently left audiences wanting more. By late May 1970, Jimi was putting the finishing touches on his own Electric Lady Studios in New York. Even during construction, he was actively recording new material in the studio—a facility that would go on to host a multitude of legendary artists. Because he was building the studio to his exact specifications, Jimi restricted his touring primarily to weekends. He wanted to personally test out the acoustic space and see how it handled recording. Plus, as we all know, Jimi loved nothing more than jamming in the studio with fellow musicians. This Berkeley performance has finally gotten its well-deserved day in the sun. It features a great mix of classic tunes everyone knows and loves from both The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Band of Gypsys, alongside new material he was actively developing in the studio and testing in front of live audiences. This concert captured the final line-up of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, featuring Jimi Hendrix on guitar and vocals, Mitch Mitchell on drums, and Billy Cox on bass. While this rhythm section may not have logged as much road time as the original Experience line-up with Noel Redding, it was arguably the most dynamic. The chemistry among the trio was undeniable, always locked in the pocket and seamlessly playing off one another. The concert itself is phenomenal. While we won't spoil the second show—which has yet to receive an official standalone release—this first set drew a passionate crowd. Given Jimi's reduced touring schedule at the time, anticipation among fans was exceptionally high. The Berkeley Community Theatre was a smaller, more intimate venue than usual, holding roughly 3,500 seats across two sets, which meant many fans were left without tickets. Outside, ticketless fans clashed with police, threw stones, and even tried climbing onto the roof to gain entry. Inside, completely oblivious to the chaos taking place outdoors, Jimi and the band entered through a rear stage entrance, ready to perform. The Experience delivered a powerhouse set. They turned in magnificent renditions of classics like "Fire," "Red House," "Purple Haze," "Machine Gun," and "Message to Love," alongside newer tracks such as "Hear My Train A Comin'," "Ezy Rider," and "Freedom." As always, listeners were treated to a unique interpretation of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Jimi never played the national anthem the same way twice, feeding directly off the collective energy of the crowd. Two additional standouts in this set deserve special mention: the fierce closer "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" and the celebrated live rendition of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode." Jimi absolutely shreds on that track, pouring everything into his guitar work in a performance that would make Chuck proud. Be sure to pick up this release and add it to your collection. It is a phenomenal, high-octane performance that has deserved an official release for a very long time. For those who remember watching the old VHS release, listening to this new remaster with headphones takes the experience to an entirely new level. It is bound to blow your mind.
