We do have censored versions of songs (sometimes entire albums have censored versions), but these are primarily for standard radio play where strong language is not permitted. From what I understand, some places have uncensored radio (perhaps they have a special license?), and satellite radio is typically uncensored, but free air radio is usually censored. Private locations like bars or restaurants use uncensored versions at their own discretion, but locations considered "family friendly" usually censor content. Also, some stores are notorious for only selling censored music (Wal-Mart), and have a lousy reputation with music lovers.Short answer: Yes, censored music for public consumption is commonplace because of all the demonization of music (and vulgarities in general, I suppose) that occurred over the past few decades in the US.
