LOS ANGELES — If the U.S. Supreme Court is willing to listen, rocker Steven Tyler has something "old school" to say about nudity and profanity on broadcast TV.

There's a "certain charm" in not relying on nudity or curse words, the Aerosmith frontman and "American Idol" judge says.

The high court is set to take up a First Amendment case on the regulation of the airwaves today.

Tyler himself tossed off a bleeped strong expletive or two on Fox's live "American Idol" after joining it as a judge last season. He says it is 2012, after all.

That's different than nonstop cursing on TV, Tyler said, suggesting that could be happen without rules.
