"I can certainly live without the f_ _ks." I agree with that statement. Target is only carrying the explicit versions. I tried to buy the clean version but they checked their computer and verified only the explicit were available. I bought the deluxe version and will check with Walmart for the clean version. Target even gave me a 10% discount using their Target Cartwheel Ap. I pre-ordered all 3 versions from iTunes but they are not downloading all the songs. Some say purchased instead of play. The odd thing is that I have all the songs available to me but only because they're coming from the three different albums. At least I have a clean version of the two explicit songs. I don't appreciate listening to obscene words as often as I play Adam's songs. I'm not a prude but I can't play Adam's explicit songs to everyone. That's what I was trying to say, some people will pass on Adam and the album just because two of the songs contain fuck, when really there is nothing explicit about anything else in the album. I just wish he would leave the fucks out, I think he would sell more albums.

Btw, did Amazon ever fix its problem, where the clean version had the 'fucks' in them and explicit version was the clean one? Kind of defeats the purpose, if you get this one mixed up.
And Ceecee, I agree that there are probably folks thinking that the explicit version must be like some kinds of rap albums, where every second word needs to be bleeped or the lyrics are graphic, or violent, and things they might want to stay away from, and they have no idea, that all we are talking about are two little f-bombs. (and one tiny little 'shit', which if I recall write is left in the clean version anyhow, so it does not matter). Yes, I do think that lots of folks stay away from all albums marked E. Adam's target market includes a large segment of people who are not the typical music buyer. They may be a bit more gun-shy. Hopefully, they see that a clean version is available, because I would hate to see such market lost, because of such a silly misconception.

(They all have used that word in some of their songs on their albums) Have you been to a high school lately. OR watched HBO. It's all good.

Your probably right but if Adam did leave the word out...he wouldn't be true to himself and how he wants to express himself, which as he has told us, is very important to him.

I doubt Adam well lose sales because of one F word. Alot of music have curse words in their songs, just look at Hip Hop.
