Her name “Lily Allen ” and  her latest song says way too much for my liking . Explicit sexual references and thoughts camouflaged in a popular song , which is given plenty of airtime by most radio stations.

Have these stations blinkered themselves totally to their non- targeted audiences and think only those who this smut is intended for are indeed the only ones listening.?

Have they forgotten younger siblings regularly have to hear what is transmitted? What chance this generation , let alone the next, for upholding any sort of standards and ettiquette, when this is allowed to pass into minds of youth, so readily.

So who are the people responsible for lyrical suitability and then who are those who scrutinise broadcast content and standards? Then what are their responsibilities and processes because they are failing.

Sporting stars continually take on the profile of role model , many times unnaturally in such a category YET musicians seem to be able to do as they please even if it is a derogatory influence.  And guess what ? It is musicians that assert a much greater influence on young people .

I hope we can find some consistency as well as the faceless names that are supposed to be watching out for us in standards of society.

Come on Australia let’s lift  !!!
