<Discussion about KFOG and other AM stations playing a censored version
of Money for Nothing>
Although this is just a guess, my 4 years in radio lead me to conjecture
that it is not so much a censored version as the 45 versus the LP version
of the song. That is a common practice. Example: Steve Miller's Jet
Airliner song, on the album (Book of Dreams), he sings about "...the
funky s--t going down in the city", while the 45/AM version of the song
refers to kicks not s--t.

In Money for Nothing, Knopfler sings "we got to install some microwave ovens" not "we got to install microwave ovens" He never claims they have to install *all* microwave ovens. Mark Stevans

"Hey,net-readers,is that a G that the keyboardist plays in the sec- ond bar,or an A-flat?"I mean has this conversation been a waste of sector and byte,or what!??
