He doesn't have to include swearing so much

I know I mean, what do you think I say when I go to the feed store it town? "Oh, yeah, Wally, give me a bag of that effing pig feed and ten pounds of that bitchley cow corn? And, and, and in the bank do I tell Mrs. Bollinger, 'Oh here's one big bastard of a cheque, give me some of your christing money?'"
You should check your guest room and make sure you don't have someone locked up back there. You've got a fixation (this is NOT the first time you've made this post) and I think you need a bit of help -

Stephen King is the one being honest in his writing. He writes with profanity because that's how people speak. Not all people, of course, but I would dare to say the majority of people. At least those about whom King writes. It would sound ridiculously dishonest if he had real-world characters saying "shucks" and "darn" in real-world situations. That's just not how the real world works.
If it bothers you so much, why do you continue to read King? -

I tend to grow weary of him ALWAYS sticking in the lyrics to some old song I've never heard of. Almost every novel (just finished Desperation) there is some mention to some song playing in the background (radio or what not) and he always has to quote the verse of a song. I usually grow tired of any thing that is done in every book. I'm not saying don't do it, just not every single novel. Just like Dean Koontz making some retriever (or is it lab?) dog character in EVERY SINGLE novel.
Back to your point, he usually has a lot of vulgar, gross characters in every novel. Almost every other character talks like a sailor.
Things can get old when he does the same predictable things in almost every novel. The Eyes of the Dragon (one I liked a lot) was an example of him doing something different.
