Has anybody heard the song from the new Pink Floyd album, The Final Cut,
called 'Not Now John'?? Well, on the album, the song starts out with the
line 'Fuck all that, we gotta get on with these...'. But on the radio,
the line is '!Stuff! all that,...'. I can't believe that Pink Floyd would
compromise on the lyrics of a song simply to recieve airplay (and make
money). Does anybody have any more info??
I dunno about wherever you live, but here in Boston they play the song
uncensored. Perhaps word "snuff" in the song is not sung by Pink Floyd,
but was dubbed in by someone else. I have heard this done on other
songs by other groups.

What's worse is that the ending is totally butchered as well. However, there is a single out with the obscured version on it, and I think that Pink Floyd would have to approve of that. Sad but true.
