Jerry,  I'm physically attracted to them.  The problem is after one night with me they'd get bored intellectually, and want an adult,  somebody they could converse with about stuff.. I have this habit of spending a few quality minutes in the sack,  but since I don't hold loyalty in reverence, I always end up back here typing shortly afterwards.  Girls that age want a life,  they aren't players like we are !

Our club disallows it.  We used to allow everything but gained a rowdy college age crowd that would like to sing f bomb songs & SCREAM the part as loud as they could - about the only part of the song you could actually hear.  Well there would be some kind of altercation to fight almost nightly.  They asked me to pull any song with profanity (with much disagreement from me - but I wasn't going to walk away from the money they were willing to pay) & we lost all them rowdys.  What I didn't expect was GAINING a better singing crowd with bigger spenders & tippers as the singers would buy real 'drinks' per person at $4-6 per drink as the college crowd would buy a $5 pitcher of beer & share between 4-5 people & NEVER tip the waitress- quit complaining after that!

That's what I've found too Lonnie.  It's not so much the expletives, but the temperment, and testosterone charged "show-offy" mindset that usually is causing that type behaviour.  It's anything but mellow, it's rowdy,  and usually if kids feel they can be "cool" by walking the edge behaving dishonorably, (given alcohol) it's moments until the line get's crossed and there's some altercation, perhaps adrenaline rushes, "acting cool", and feeling the need to walk the walk that accompanies the mouthiness. In a bar setting it's not just the males,  rowdy girls fists fly too.




Absolutely !  Music has it's accompanying mindset.  The old mellower ballad crowd for instance (singing some of the classic love ballads, and stories) is a far cry from the younger kids screaming.. Now personally (believe it or not) when I was young although I played it I never liked Iron Butterfly or Sabbath.  Too rowdy and noisy for me..  Yet you aren't really going to find a crowd into Buffet, Chapin, Gordon Lightfoot, JT, that co-exists well with the BISKET, and rowdy crowd that was born in the mid-80's or after.

Exactly Lonman!  You WILL get a better singing crowd and a whole lot better crowd.

As a singer, and a KJ, I cuss once in a while........but I do it only in opertune situations........and timing is crucial......I know, who gives a flying F@#k for what johnny has to say........ .......see what I mean

I've done some songs with profanity in them and have never had a problem.  I've never seen it be a problem for other singers either.  At the shows I've been to, the singer hardly ever talks before or after the song, so unless we're talking about profanity within the song itself, it just never comes up.

If I bring my own disc intending to sing a song with profanity in it, I just ask the KJ first if it's OK.  It always has been, so far.  If a song is in the KJ's library then I assume it's OK, barring some obvious warning like "This song contains profanity; ask KJ for permission before singing this."

I agree with the above sentiment that people who use profanity in order to seem hip end up looking like jackasses.
