The line between swearing and artistic expression?

[hengtirey]

I have a music assignment and one of the questions requires me to look at the difference between swearing in music and "artistic expression". Any ideas for what I could write about and points I should cover? I can't seem to find anything on the net that I could use to back up my statements.

i just did a google search for "profanity in music" and a whole slew of articles came up, so i'd start there.
