Re: Superbowl Setlist Predictions

Remembering that the NFL considers the Superbowl a family show, it makes me seriously wonder if the Stones will have to choose their songs [or lyrics] carefully. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, which would seem like the obvious choice to be performed, may be too racy for the NFL. The "dead man come" line from Start Me UP is unlikely to be heard. Even the two words "black girl" from Brown Sugar would probably be too politically incorrect if the NFL o the network read the words in advance. "I laid a divorcee in New York City" is problematic too. Under My Thumb is politically incorrect.
So, unless they plan to sing songs like Dandelion and Wild Horses, they will probably do It's Only Rock and Roll (with clean lyrics), Jumping Jack Flash, and one other warhorse [maybe take a chance with Brown Sugar].
