complained that British broadcasters are banning a newly released song

by his late wife, Linda, because it contains a swear word, The Times

newspaper reported on Monday. The newspaper did not report the swear

word other than to say it started with an f. Nor was it spelled out in

a half-page advertisement McCartney placed in the newspaper asking

Britain's parents to decide for themselves whether their children

would be corrupted by the lyric: "You say I'm simple, you say I'm a

hick, you're f+++ing no one, you stupid d+++." Linda McCartney had

recorded the song, "The Light Comes From Within, " before her death

from breast cancer last year. McCartney told the Times he could not

understand why the single had attracted a parental guidance sticker

and was banned by some media outlets. "Is this the 90s or the 20s?" he

asked the paper. John Peel, a BBC presenter, said he thought the

record had not been banned by >>radio<< and television stations, but

simply was not being played much. "I have not heard this record yet

but the lyrics do not sound terribly profound," he told the Times.
