I thought it was pretty funny the first time I watched that interview as well.
I've always been a fan, as he is a very gifted lyricist. There is actually a part of this full interview when his lyrics regarding homosexuals are discussed. He actually states that those words were used habitually during his youth, and they were aimed at each other rather than actually towards homosexuals. While I do agree that young minds hear these lyrics and can take too much of what he is saying to heart; I also believe that it is our responsibility as a parent to teach right and wrong, real and entertainment.
I have a young son, and we sit him down anytime vulgar language is heard (tv, radio, at the mall, etc.) and explain to him why those words aren't okay to repeat. It's no different than violence on tv. It's all about proper parenting.
