The group is Puddle of Mud. I have seen edits where you can hear just the F
and edits where you hear just the 'ing' (leaving little to the imagination)
and edits where you don't hear any of the word. Is it up to the board
op/jock to handle that each time its played, or will stations edit the track
itself and save the on-air guys the hassle of looking for the seven words
every time?

A few years back, some stations did limited editing on Alanis Morissette's
"You Oughta Know." I distinctly remember one station in Boston (either Kiss
or WBCN) leaving the f-bomb in there when it aired a little before 6 a.m.
(just presumed this might have been a board op error), but then I also
remember Kiss dumping the vocals and running only a music bed in a part of
the song that refers to oral sex.
