This is a very interesting conversation. I am a life long Stones fan. Their music was the soundtrack for my life-good and bad. However, there are friends of ours who I would call very conservative who can't stand their them or their music. They viewed the Stones as hedonistic, outlaws and anarchists, and Mick Jagger in particular as misogynist. My wife herself (who spent much of her life working with women who were victims of domestic violence) never liked the Stones. She went along with it and tolerated their music in our house because she knew I liked them. But probably no other song turned her off than when I listened to Midnight Rambler (which still is one of my favorite songs-not so much because of the content, but because the way the song rocks out musically). I eventually did convince her (we are still together and doing well over 28 years!) that yes the Stones did have a dark side (which was their appeal) but they just didn't exclusively write "anti-women" songs and I played her tunes she really liked such as She's a Rainbow, Wild Horses, Ruby Tuesday, Angie, etc.

If sex, drugs, and rock and roll makes you uncomfortable maybe you should choose another genre of music to listen to. There are many.

One thing that may cause some cognitive dissonance with me, if ever so slightly, is Sir Michael's cosmopolitan, tax dodging lifestyle with more and more women, younger and younger, spread all over the world. Together with expensive houses, castles and tropical islands. I use the term harem here. Sir Michael is like a modern day pasha. And his knighthood has caused me some CD too... But I know mentioning this is tabu and that some would say I'm only jealous. Or uptight. Or moralistic. Fair enough.

Another reason for changing offensive words into !"#¤%&/%¤# style is that some search engines and firewalls do block traffic with such words, in fact they will categorize sites with offensive talk as "entertainment" or "offensive" or "adult" and you will not be able to read IORR from every network like work, libary or may be if you travel to a place where they do not accept such. So I try to make IORR 100% available and out of any ban lists.
