We use to play a song called "Clean Straight Shooter" in a couple of biker bars that liked us and paid us well.

They were very fond of the rude off-color songs. Homophobia was rampant as was racism.

"Straight shooter" is a type of crack pipe and it also can be used to say I am not gay. The guys in the biker bar loved it and demanded we play it at least two times a night.

I played the song once in a black bar where I am very well known and some thought it was funny. Mrs Johnson, the owner, came to me and said " Billy don't be playing that [*****] in here. We got crack pipes laying on the ground right outside the door. You know Jonny OD last week and we got enough of that and don't need you reminding us".

So, the bottom line is, if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
Contrary to what you may think, the world does not revolve around "your" perception of what is acceptable. It's not your choice what you can sing in certain venues.

“Amazing! I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig?
“Well…” Saint Peter, hesitated, “God’s got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing…”
