Maybe I went to the bathroom, but we got Green Day "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" after the Stones. What's the deal with Billy Joe's hair and eye makeup?
Did you see that little smile at the end of Rough Justice - he didn't look like someone who wasn't enjoying himself - let's hope the fun keeps up for him and he decides to keep going after this tour. Man I feel good seeing them - did you notice the screams that were overdubbed - it sounded like Got Live - anyway, I'm off to pull out a DVD and watch them all night!!
How cool. Anytime I can see the Stones on my TV, I am happy. And yes, folks, that WAS the back of my head up in the On Stage seats. Damn, it is cool being a famous tele star.

Maybe the bit about a dead man cumming? Just a guess.
amazing that 24 years after it came out and even though the song has been played about a billion times on the radio and at sports grounds that all of a sudden its so shocking that the nation's morals are going to be corrupted
It's just the NFL trying to protect themselves from lawsuits. You know like Mick busting a button on his trousers and having a wardrobe malfunction...It's a sad state of affairs, but a lot of Americans like to sue whenever possible.
do you really think someone is going to sue the NFL because a rock singer said the line 'dead man cum' in a pop song? Especially one that everyone knows and which is played every day on radio stations and at football grounds without censorship?
Youre right about people sueing at the drop of the hat (we call them 'ambulance chasers'!) but I just find it amazing that all of a sudden that song is considered too controversial to be broadcast unedited. Its not exactly Eminem, lets face it.
A weird logic (I dont mean yours, but that of the NFL or whoever aired the broadcast)
I agree with you it is a silly thought. But I think every since the wardrobe malfunction the NFL has went way too far in the other direction to compensate for that.
If not for fear of a law suit why else would the songs be censored?
