Scott,

Maybe it's me, but I just don't think there is a place for profanity in music--period! I, personally, don't believe it serves a purpose, I don't think it does anything, other than maybe provide a bit of shock value. But, if you need shock value to sell the song, then that doesn't say much for the singer or the song, does it. Now, Wolfe has good vocal qualities, no doubt about it. I can only imagine how wonderful the song would sound without the profanity and booze.

As for profanity being acceptable in Finland or having something to do with Tourettes, NAH! Keep in mind that I worked in the medical field for many years and encountered lots of Tourettes patients and not one that I came in contact uttered a single word of profanity. That's BS at best. As for the masses in Finland accepting profanity as a normal part of everyday speech, that sure wasn't the case when I was there. Maybe things were different then, but I sincerely don't their social values have changed that much to consider profanity as acceptable speech. The vast majority of the people I met in Finland were kind, considerate, extremely polite and well spoken individuals. I hope to go back there one day in the not too distant future.
