A small step, but a step closer

So Russell Simmons, hip hop mogul and ex-husband of the fabulous Kimora Lee Simmons wants the music industry to adopt new standards for censoring offensive language. Some people greeted it with open arms and others say its not enough. Of course the music industry declined to comment and essentially remained closed mouth on the subject.

Funny, if we were talking about people "stealing" shitty music from their precious artists, then record label spokespeople would be lining up at the microphone. Now someone actually calls for some responsibility on the part of the industry and its all mum. The hypocrisy of the music industry amuses me at best and alarms me at worst.

Thanks, Russell for trying. We all have a ways to go.
