May contain peanuts

I have been exploring Ryan Adams' Rock N Roll for the first time today. I like it a lot, and I appreciate his versatility as an artist. I had noticed on iTunes, however, that there are two versions for purchase, "Explicit" and "Clean." When I see there are explicit lyrics, I assume the songs will be riddled with profanity, like in rap. I previously had three songs from this CD supplied to me from my friend Meghan Shack: "This Is It," "So Alive," and "Anybody Wanna Take Me Home." They were all clean. I bummed the CD from another friend to get the entire version, and I assumed it was the clean version. I was listening along when I came to the fourth track on the CD, containing profound, heartfelt lyrics, such as:

It's all a bunch of s***
And there's nothing to do around here
It's totally f***** up
I'm totally f***** up
Wish you were here

Come on, Ryan. Couldn't you do better than that? He did croon the word "s***" better than anyone I've ever heard, though. Anyway, this was ovbviously the explicit version of the CD. I came to the conclusion that the label "Explicit" in this case is sort of like when a plain Hershey bar says "May contain peanuts," the same as a Reese's. Some songs have no cursing, some are full of it, but they all get the same label. Deep thoughts from Katie.
