Stones Censored at Superbowl

Quote:

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:

Quote:

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.

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.

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.

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

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