Stones Censored at Superbowl

[Kevy Baby]

From this story (http://apnews.excite.com/article/20060206/D8FJLKSG0.html).

In "Start Me Up," the show's editors silenced one word, a reference to a woman's sexual sway over a dead man. The lyrics for "Rough Justice" included a synonym for rooster that the network also deemed worth cutting out.

The last three liones of "Start Me Up":
You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you make a dead man come
You, you make a dead man come

I think we can all figure out the word from "Rough Justice"

My favorite line from the article:
The Stones probably didn't mind, either. It brought a little rock 'n' roll danger to the ultimate "safe" gig and - if they're lucky - it distracted attention from their mediocre show.

While Mick gets around pretty well for a 60+ year old, I think their time is up.

Although I thought the stage was pretty cool.

[Ghoulish Delight]

It seemed to me that, after the whole "no one over 45" controversy, that they made a point to have older people right up at the stage where they'd be on screen a lot.

As for their performance...yawn.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Why does the most watched program on television have to have such a sucky half-time show? God, how I hate the lowest common denominator.

[Not Afraid]

Well, you just CANNOT use the "rooster" word when a bunch of men are sitting around together, drunk and limp. That would be blasphemy!

[Kevy Baby]

Yeah, they might start getting all cocky when they are all cocked up. Ain't that right Dick?

[Capt Jack]

As for their performance...yawn.


I couldnt possibly agree more.
boring game
boring halftime

but at least I still won the pool. 125 smackeroos baby!

yay me!

[Ghoulish Delight]

I thought the game was interesting enough.

[Gemini Cricket]

Bring back Janet!
:)

[Not Afraid]

And we don't even get to add a new phrase to our vernacular! I feel robbed!

[Gemini Cricket]

Aged in Stone?

[Alex]

Well, they were better than the national anthem singing.

Otherwise, I'm not sure how good of a show you can expect in the 15 minutes or so they have.

[mousepod]

I was waiting for the headline: Censors "****"-block Mick at Superbowl.

[Gemini Cricket]

Well, they were better than the national anthem singing.
Missed that. Who was it? Ashlee Simpson? Beyonce? Bo Bice?
:D

[Kevy Baby]

Roseanne Barr?

[Kevy Baby]

I was thinking it would be funny if Keith had reached up at one point and torn Mick's shirt.

[scaeagles]

Well, they were better than the national anthem singing.


The whole time the guy was singing - as famous as he is I'm drawing a blank on his name - I was picturing Simon Cowell at an American Idol audition telling him how aweful he was and that singing was not the career for him.

I've never liked the guys singing. He was particularly bad last night.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Missed that. Who was it? Ashlee Simpson? Beyonce? Bo Bice?
:DIt was Aaron Neville and Aretha Franklin...and it was bad. Really really bad.

[Gemini Cricket]

It was Aaron Neville and Aretha Franklin...and it was bad. Really really bad.
:eek:

[AllyOops!]

What should have been censored was Mick's choice of attire. A belly shirt?

I don't care if he has a fabulous six pack. I don't care if said six pack was etched in platinum and all of his ribs were diamond encrusted and his abs held all of the secrets to the afterlife (actually, scratch that last one. If your abs are philosophical and spill forth great knowledge, go topless! The topless rule also applies if your'e an L.A. King. Sigh. I wish they would play hockey shirtess. :( :p )

I'm all for individuality. I'm all for expression through fashion. Heaven knows I wear things that get knocked and it only makes me want to wear them more. :D But c'mon Mick. A baby tee? The only thing missing were the words flirt or angel emblazoned in pink glitter. :(

It was Aaron Neville and Aretha Franklin...and it was bad. Really really bad.
Aaron doesn't have the right kind of voice, and from the way he was acting at the start of it, I don't think he was hearing the music.

Dr. John at least seemed to do respectable on the keyboards

[CoasterMatt]

But c'mon Mick. A baby tee? The only thing missing were the words flirt or angel emblazoned in pink glitter. :(
The censors had a hissy fit when he showed up wearing jeans that said "JUICY" on the ass...

[Kevy Baby]

Dr. John at least seemed to do respectable on the keyboardsIt must have been the right place, but it must have been the wrong time.
